Is anyone else seeing a
pattern here?
These are just a few examples, if you search
the word repent you will find many more verses that talk of repentance. Yet you
don’t hear much about repentance from Christian leaders these days. Why is
that? Are we all so good now that we don’t need to hear about repentance
anymore? Yeah right.
What is repentance?
Repent means to turn away from sin i.e. STOP
SINNING! Repent does not mean that you simply say that you are sorry after each
time you sin.
I post this because repentance is America’s
only hope.
Somebody has got to say it.
