    Secret Sin

    Contributed by James Dina on Jul 21, 2020
     | 7,010 views

    Your sin is not a secret; the eye of God has seen it; you have sinned before his face. God's eye pierces through the darkness; the brick walls which surrounded you were as transparent as glass to the eye of the Almighty God.

    SECRET SIN One of Satan's biggest lies is that there are some sins that God does not either care about or know about (David Scudder). Not only does God know about our secret sins, but sooner or later, one way or the other, ...read more

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Feb 20, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 567 views

    In a world that thrives on lies, we believe in a God of truth who admonishes us to think on things that are true and to implement these in our lives. Only with the Lord Jesus is there true forgiveness for our sins, reconciliation and acceptance.

    We read in Philippians 4:8, “Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.” (ESV) God has graciously gifted to ...read more

    Before I could see any change in my life I first had to realize that all the things I was pursuing in my life were not leading to life in Christ.

    From various Bible characters we can see that today as then there are many voices bidding for our love and affection. The most important thing is to keep the Lord first in our lives.

    God’s first and last thought is the welfare of his children! The Provision of the Cross is an act of covenant. It is not a half-job effort to fix things. It is a plan that would never turn back!
