    True Confession

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Mar 10, 2015
    based on 1 rating
     | 6,301 views

    The very word to confess has a much deeper meaning to agreeing with God about the whole aspect of what Jesus did on the cross and what sin really is all about. For a person to confess has to do with the person agreeing with God for what He has done for us

    Opening illustration: A woman said to a preacher, "I have a habit that I know is hurting my testimony—the habit of exaggeration. I start to tell something and I go on and on enlarging the story. People suspect that it's not true, and they lose confidence in me. I'm trying to get over it. ...read more

     | 6,520 views

    It's my way or the highway! I did it my way! You can have it your way! These are beliefs of the modern world. But the truth is there is only one way.

Let your father and brothers dwell in the best of the land; let them dwell in the land of Goshen. And if you know any competent men among them, then ...read more
