NO fear: Repentance
Pastor Robert Jordan // February 2nd, 2010
–We have to think in terms of the deeper causes of what we need to confess in our lives to save us from SUPERFICIALITY in repentance.
–Often we want to escape being specific, so we try to get by with generic one-size-fits-all confessions…
Its hard. To be open and honest enough with yourself and God to examine your life and see your sins. Its no easy task. In my repentance to God I was reminded of something as well. Often we reduce sin to only the acts of commission; things we DO that are sin. Those are most easy to pinpoint. But there are also sins of omission that are often rampant in our lives. Sins of omission are things we don’t do that we should; like loving our neighbors, serving our church and community, etc.
Let me challenge you for this week to do the hard work of examining your life for sins of commission and omission as we continue the practice of true repentance.

Got something to say?
One of my sins of omission is to not pray for my enemy.
Praying for my enemy is the greatest source of my own inner peace.
