Dealing with a blockage

Yesterday we talked about what happens to the heart……specifically when we have a blockage.  The blockage we were referring to was un-confessed sin.

So how do we deal with this blockage, this blockage called un-confessed sin?

The answer to dealing with this blockage is simply one word……confession.  That’s it.

Confession is the process by which I try to name my sin as honestly and specificly as possible.

But there’s one thing that confession is not.  It’s not excusing my sin, minimizing my sin, it’s not rationalizing my sin and it’s not blaming my sin on someone else.  These are all things that by its very nature that sin inclines for us to do.

The definition of confession is pretty simple.  Take a look at this…confession:getting painfully honest with God and the people that we have offended.

Next week we’re going to go a little deeper…….
