Christian Confession Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 19, 2021

Christians have needlessly borne mountains of guilt when they might have had it dissolved and cleansed through the blood of Christ. Continuous and consistent confession of sin is a must for a Christian.

The one thing all people have in common is guilt.

Modern psychiatry is discovering that guilt is enemy number ...read more
