confession

yesterday, i called one of my best friends and said i have an enemy of the gospel that i need to talk about. this enemy was a personal sin of mine that was an idol that i've began to worship. if you think i'm crazy, you worship idols too. i'm just admitting it.

this wasn't fun at all, but rather, it was really hard to get the gut to admit my sin. after a few minutes of contemplating the problem, we spent some meaningful time encouraging one another.

why confess?? well, God has established the church to be a community that experiences life together, in the good times and bad, in struggles and harmony. when we isolate ourselves w/out meaningful relationships, we set ourselves up for disaster. confession & repentance are absolute necessities for the Christian life.

what idols do u have?? maybe you should call someone about that...
