Mark 6:12 So they went out and preached that men should repent.
Ah, the "r" word. That is one that is certainly not politically correct today. These days it seems that we can't tell someone what they are doing is wrong, unless of course we are in the majority. But where does that leave the Body of Christ? What is our mission then? Jesus sent out his disciples to preach repentance and drive out demons. Today we coddle the demons and condone the sins. The message of the church has become dilute to the point of being almost worthless. If we are to be disciples of Christ as the Apostles were, then we need to repent and we need to preach repentance. Anything else that replaces that is not a Christian mission.
Father, help me by your Holy Spirit to truly repent from my sin, and to not back down from the opportunity to share that spirit of repentance with others..
Amen
