On the “Misinflation” quotes recently: I just finished reading your book with David Bahnsen after reading the quotes on the blog. You’re getting a seriously enthusiastic high five once we get to Heaven. Thank you for your unflinching proclamation of hard truths.
The reason I couldn’t get fully unhitched from sins in the same category is because I wouldn’t fess up. Know that God’s Spirit used your human words powerfully to bring me to full repentance, fruit and all. I am no longer being killed from the inside out by my hidden sin. I confessed the worst thing I’ve ever done, outside of hating and blaspheming God, to the person I love the most.įorgiveness was IMMEDIATELY extended, which I did not expect. Of course I pushed it down for a while, sought divine permission to not follow divine wisdom, etc. I knew as soon as I heard the sermon that I was going to confess said doozy, to the one person to whom I did not want to confess, at some point.
I had been keeping a bit of a doozy to myself. Thank you for your sermon from a couple of years ago on confession of sin to one another.
