Dirty Laundry
I promised I would pray for you and I have been. I spent yesterday asking God to continue to give you courage as you confess your sin, as you air your dirty laundry to him. Remember David’s cry for help? “God soak me in your laundry and I’ll come out clean, scrub me and I’ll have a snow white life. Tune me in to foot tapping songs, set these once broken bones to dancing again!” (Psalm 51 MSG) As we learned this weekend, “There is no healing in hiding.” So go to www.clotheslineconfessions.com and make your secret known! The risk is worth the reward! Secret sin and inner peace cannot coexist! Your failure is not fatal—Your failure is forgiven! The sin you want to conceal the most is the sin you need to reveal the most!
I’ve spent today praying over a Biblical plan that I believe will help each of us experience the freedom over sin Jesus died to give us. Part of the plan involves worship…living in the truth of the songs we sing. In preparation for our weekend experience and encounter with Jesus—which you won’t want to miss—make an effort to listen to and learn this song and prepare yourself to express it in our community of believers by reading/memorizing Hebrews 9:28 which says, “So Christ was sacrificed once to take away the sins of many people; and he will appear a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to those who are waiting for him.” I love you and I can’t wait to sing this song with you!
