Unconfessed Sin


We all have sinned; some of us harbor unconfessed sin though which interferes with the way we think of, and commune with God. This is not good since we will likely stop listening and praying to God when we try to hide our sins from Him. We tend to avoid Him so we don’t have to deal with that “secret” sin. Remember how Adam tried to hide his sin in the Garden of Eden? We can, thanks to our wonderful, Lord Jesus, re-open our wonderful channels to God through our confession and repentance. We don’t ever want to be separated from Him. We can always trust God to forgive us of our sins because He said He would when we ask Him to. Once we have confessed our sin to Him we will be forgiven and we can again rely on His leading us in our loving, grateful service to Him. By our confession we rededicate our lives to Him.

Is there some unconfessed sin in your life? What is separating you from God? This is your time for re-dedication, take the time to pray and confess any hidden sin to God. (Psalm 32:1-4) Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, / whose sin is covered. / Blessed be the man to whom the Lord does not impute iniquity, / and in whose spirit there is no deceit. God has promised to forgive us of all our sins. From time to time we may slip away from God. Now is the time to commit your heart to obedience to God’s Word. Take the time to share your recommitment with another Christian who will pray with you. Fellow Christians are our great encouragers and God wants us to be joined together with them.

The apostle Paul in his epistle to the Romans wrote; Likewise you also, reckon yourselves to be dead indeed to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus our Lord. Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body, that you should obey it in its lusts (Romans 6:11, 12).

God never changes who He is

The popular cry of the people here in America today is for “change.” Yet in some parts of the world there are those who use all means, including terrorism to resist it. There are some people who are determined to leave ancient traditions, and often times, corruptible governments just as they are, and have been for hundreds of thousands of years. Many of these nations do not recognize God. God is always the same; today, tomorrow, and forever. He never changes; this knowledge about Him enables us to have total reliability in Him. His character is as follows: God is omnipotent . All power is His, and nothing is beyond His control. He enforces His perfect will. He is unstoppable by any force in heaven or on earth! God is omnipresent. He is everywhere imaginable and unimaginable all at the same time! No person or place is beyond His presence. Space and time are before Him always. He determines everything for all places and all persons. God is omniscient. All that is happening to all ...

I pray there is. Thanks for reading my blog and may God richly bless you.

God’s Family

He provides resources for the family “For You, Lord, are good, and ready to forgive, and abundant in mercy to all those whom call upon You” (Psalm 86:5). God’s plan for marriage and the family, in the Bible, is intended to be ideal, full of prosperity for every member. Would you say this describes your family? Maybe, maybe not, however, even if your family has missed His mark His Word deals with life realistically. Many of us experience some aspect of failure or serious disappointment with the way our family is living. Many families today are divided by divorce or living as single-parent family units. God alone can provide the needed resources and the loving care vital for the needs of these families who are dealing with life. If you are having trouble in your family turn to Jesus. He is your primary resource for forgiveness and your hope for renewal (Ephesians 1:7).   He forgives no matter if the failure is yours or it is one of those times when someone else fails yo...
