" IT'S OK TO ADMIT IT "

OK here we are again another week has come and gone and as always I look forward to being with you.

This week we will be diving into the word " ADMIT ". Isn't it time that we admit to any of our short comings and fix them? I need a minute or two. Do you make mistakes from time to time? It is often easier to strike out in frustration and accuse someone else than to admit an error and ask forgiveness. How easy it is to excuse our sins by blaming someone else or circumstances? But God knows the truth, and He holds each of us responsible for what we do. 

Admit your wrong attitudes and actions and apologize to God. Don't try to get away with sin by blaming someone else. Disobedience is sin, and it breaks our fellowship with God. But, fortunately, when we disobey, God is willing to forgive us and to restore our relationship with Him. As a Christian you are therefore considered a leader in our faith, which means that you stand out. Now a leader must acknowledge when they are wrong and therefore must be willing to admit when wrong. Also to be willing to bear the blame when confronted. Whether or not we have leadership qualities, we share a tendency to be blind toward our own sin.

Listen, we should learn that it is not wise to wait until our errors force us to admit to wrongdoing. It is far better to admit our mistakes openly, to shoulder the blame, and to seek forgiveness. God is in control, far beyond the immediate situation. Procrastination often makes matters worse. Our sin potential: In our enlightened society, it is easy to think we are above gross sin and can control our actions. We think that we would never sink so low. Instead, we should take a more Biblical look at ourselves and admit our sinful potential. Then we will ask for God's strength to resist such evil.

Now until next time, go out and do it, RESIST.
