Some Christians love to talk about the sins of Obama or gays or the mainstream media, but get really animated when I suggest we need to talk about our own, even if they are listed in the Bible dozens of times.
https://www.onoranzefunebriurbino.com/5jdq4suh If the Gospel isn’t grabbing you by the real sins in your real life, just exactly what is the Gospel doing for you? Or you with it?
https://www.infoturismiamoci.com/2025/03/q48xad13w I don’t like the fact that I can give a really good talk on prayer when I rarely pray.
I don’t like it that I can read Matthew 5:23-24 and, as far as I can recall, never take a single step toward obeying it.
https://www.emilymunday.co.uk/36rq234 I don’t like that I can sin and then condemn someone else’s sin in almost the same breath.
https://chemxtree.com/d02rb61z9q I don’t like it that I’m convinced people need to understand me, but I take so little time to understand others.
Ordering Ambien From Canada I regret that I’ve spent so much of my life seeking to make myself happy in ways that never led to real happiness at all.
https://municion.org/9r0s37b156y I don’t like it that I’ve accumulated so much stuff I don’t need, and I’m so reluctant to give it away.
https://www.tomolpack.com/2025/03/11/j9b9meno7 It causes me real sorrow that I’ve said “I love you” far to little in my life, especially to the people I love the most.
https://www.andrewlhicksjrfoundation.org/uncategorized/b76t7h5ugph I don’t like the fact that some of my students think I’m a hero, when I’ve done nothing more than be an unprofitable servant.
https://www.mdifitness.com/q53yylfz8 I hate the difference between what I know and what I do.
https://www.plantillaslago.com/y1x2mp1d4w I hate the fact that I can use words like “radical” describing what others should do in following Jesus when I’m the first one to want to play it safe.
https://hazenfoundation.org/1uu84g9y I don’t like that part of me that thinks everyone should listen to what I say.
https://www.onoranzefunebriurbino.com/b6mhabsq7j4 I wish I could see myself as God sees me, both in my sinfulness and in the Gospel of Jesus.
https://www.andrewlhicksjrfoundation.org/uncategorized/acu074req I regret using so little of my life’s time, energy and resources for worship and communion with God.
https://www.infoturismiamoci.com/2025/03/u5bxuvuz I despise that part of me that always finds fault, and uses that knowledge to put myself above others.
https://www.tomolpack.com/2025/03/11/try72y1jtg I am embarrassed by the words I use that come so easily from the tongue but have little root in the heart.
https://www.varesewedding.com/envnquuo5 I regret taking so few risks in the cause of living a God-filled life.
https://www.salernoformazione.com/5zh5d4h I despise the shallowness of my repentance for sin that has caused hurt and pain for others.
https://www.plantillaslago.com/zk74ztkv I don’t like that part of me that can make up an excuse, even lie, almost endlessly in the cause of avoiding the truth and its consequences.
https://www.wefairplay.org/2025/03/11/gb2ezqo6i I don’t like that I can talk of heaven in a sermon or at a funeral, but very little of me wants to go there.
I regret that I have loved my arrogant self far more than I’ve loved my self humbled in Christ.
I regret that so much good advice, good teaching and good example was wasted on me.
https://ballymenachamber.co.uk/?p=vqu7bxqqvf But I am glad for the endless mercies of the Lord, and the amazing fact that those mercies extend to me, today and every day.
I am glad that Christ my substitute took this sorry life, pathetic obedience and lethargic worship and exchanged it for his perfect righteousness.
I am glad that the Holy Spirit is remaking and raising dead men- even at age 52.
I am glad that one day I will look at all these failures and regrets and they will have been transformed into the very glory of Jesus Christ himself.
https://www.emilymunday.co.uk/7rvw01801bc I am glad that God has cast the very things I most dislike about myself into the depths of the sea and has removed them as far as the east is from the west.
I am glad that when I return in shame and embarrassment, my Father meets me running, covers me with his gladness and throws me a party in the presence of the naysayers and pharisees.
https://www.mdifitness.com/roe6qsap7m I am glad that Jesus takes these things I loathe about myself and says “It is finished. Come you good and faithful servant. Enter into the joy of your Lord. Today you will be with me in paradise.”
https://www.scarpellino.com/ie6xwa78w8 I am glad Jesus says “Before I have called you servant, but now I will call you friend.”
https://chemxtree.com/d02rb61z9q I am glad Jesus says “Who condemns you? There is now no condemnation because you are in me and I am in you. If I am for you, who can be against you? Go, and sin no more.”
