it looks good

Sin is never a personal issue. It’s a relationship problem.
Even if sin is well hidden and done secretly, it always has
consequences. Sooner or later it will bear fruit.
In Isaiah 30:13 the Lord says that the sin of the rebellious
people is like “a bulge in a high wall”. It looks helpful, but
it actually is a trap.
If it’s not taken care of , it will be a problem in the future.
Sin always brings forth death.
Sin kills all faith in visions, opportunities and godly
initiations.
Sin needs to be identified daily in the light of God’s finished
work and forgiveness.
The moment we call sin sin, we destroy it’s future.
Repentance isn’t just a bad, guilty feeling about something,
but it’s turning away from it.
Sometimes confession of sin leads a person to radically break up
a relationship, delete a phone number or even to move out
to a new home.
By confessing our sins to the Lord daily, we don’t inform
him about them, but we agree with him about them.
Ephesians 5:15 encourages us to walk circumspectly, not
as fools but as wise, redeeming the time, because the days
are evil.
Being careful about our time, companion and geography
is wisdom that will guard our future ministry in God’s plan.
