 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.

They want God to be their magic genie and make sure that their life is filled with only good things. T...
