Coming Clean

Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Jul 8, 2025

Psalm 32 is a good introduction to the idea of confession. It’s a primer on penitence, the ABC’s of contrition. It teaches us why we should confess our sins, how to do so, and what we get out of it.

We live in a confessional culture. It’s been called the "Urge to Purge." Or even "Psychic Bulimia." I can remember back when Phil Donahue was shocking. But these days the things people have to display to get on Jerry Springer or Sally Jessie Raphael hardly raise an eyebrow in ...read more

Contributed by Lester Potts on Nov 3, 2025

The message that God delivered to Israel through Moses in Deuteronomy 28 is just as relevant for America today.
