Most of us who have been in church long enough have heard many sermons and teachings on confession and repentance. Sometimes repetition can numb us to the reality of both of those. 

I believe a great deal of our complacency and apathy in the church today is not so much the repetition of the messages we have heard, but the lack of understanding and application of God's call for a full confession. 

The word confess means to agree with God! We may agree with God that we have sinned, but we are not confessing why we sinned, or why our hearts chose to live selfishly instead of depending upon God for His provision and timing.

If God knows the motive and intentions of our hearts, I'm sure the Holy Spirit is attempting to convict us of those motives and intentions. 

There can be no true repentance without a full confession. Complacency is formed in the soil of casual confession. The reason why most of us continue in the cycle of sin confess, sin confess, and sin and confess, without any real change of mind bringing about a change of action, is our superficial lives of confession.

Explore the Scriptures with me and let's discover God's design for a full confession.
