Jim Lynn: Confession

311 Words2 Pages

Jim Lynn quotes James 5:15-16 to show that confession is needed to release the negative energy that sin builds up in our lives. Upon the release, God’s divine power is able to enter a person for healing. James wrote to Christians not non-believers. “Confession purges the soul of evil, much like a stomach regurgitates bad food.” (p. 189 I never looked at it in that way so it is a little sickening (slight humor). Just like a person feels better after upchucking, so confession can bring about immediate physical/ psychological healing or begin the healing process. Confession restores Jesus to the throne of our life, which allows us to be in harmony with His covenant with us.

    1316 Words  | 6 Pages

    In Phassus 5 of Piers Plowman, Wrath is undoubtedly willing to confess, as well is sincerer about its confession than Gluttony is. Since Wrath was once a Friar, its believable that it can still become religious again and would strive to genuinely repent its sins as well, due to an instilled training or belief of religious morals that are often enforced at an early stage of development. Furthermore, a bartender easily persuades Gluttony to enter a tavern when it should have been heading to repent, Wrath never faltered or intended to miss its confession. Also, Wrath’s confession is longer, which means Wrath thought deeper about what it did wrong and seemed truthfully contrite.

    OT2100-Week Three-Devotional Leviticus 7:1 Guilt, shame, and remorse are good if it promotes Godly sorrow and the result is genuine repentance. Guilt, shame, and remorse that is of worldly sorrow do not lead one to true repentance.

    In the short story “The Minister’s Black Veil” and the novel The Scarlet Letter, Nathaniel Hawthorne tells the stories of two men who keep their sins secret and are hurt deeply. In The Scarlet Letter, Reverend Dimmesdale does not reveal his sin to the community and experiences far more pain than Hester, whose sin is revealed. Years after the original sin, Hester has healed and is accepted by the community, while Dimmesdale still feels guilty, as can be seen when he mounts the scaffold. Dimmesdale’s experience is similar to that of Reverend Hooper, who covers his face after a secret sin and is eschewed by the community. When we refuse to admit our faults, we will feel guilty

  • Jeff Bridges On Holiness

    Jeff Bridges takes the lofty goal of perfect holiness and shows how every Christian is called to live out their lives; holiness is achieved by pursuing God in every aspect of our lives, following the way of Christ and not the ways of the world, and obeying the Lord in everything we do. He emphasizes the idea that holiness is not an end result but rather a lifetime challenge. This book follows the teachings of many pastors and authors I have personally encountered and I found it very settling to know that the information I have heard for many years is still applicable and holds its truth. One very important point Bridges makes throughout this small book is how sin separates us from God and it is our duty to release this sin and work towards
