You are called to repentance
every Lord’s Day. We sometimes simply refer to this as the Confession of
Sins. Sometimes I talk about particular
sin that might catch you, envy, bitterness, lust, and I hope the Spirit uses
these little sermons to call you up short and turn you around.
When you refuse to confess sins and repent of them, you are
walking away from the Lord. That is why it is so important to confess daily and
repent daily. People often drift away from the Lord through a series of
seemingly little unconfessed sins, a prideful self-rightousness here, a little
internet time there, gossip with girls over there, and then you find yourself
in a wilderness of sin and the things of God are a mile away.
But when you repent, you not only turn from your sins, you
turn towards Jesus, you start walking towards Him and immediately He is with
you once again. You had your back to Him but now you can face Him having
received full forgiveness. That is the power of repentance.
