Koinonia  March 2010

Have we created idols in our life that have more of our attention than God does? Someone once told me the last thing you think about before going to bed and the first thing you think about when you get up are idols. Have we pledged loyalty to Him with our lips only to betray, desert and deny when the opportunity arose? Sometimes, it seems so much easier to play it safe, keep our mouth shut and keep the peace, especially in the face of family and friends. Have we lived a life of self-denial and self control? Why are we so good at figuring the cost or benefit to us before asking what Christ wants us to do? Why do the phrases, "I want" or "I need" seem to have more power than God in my life?

Lent is a time to repent, to start again.

"Have mercy on me, O God, according to your steadfast love; according to your abundant mercy blot out my transgressions. Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin. For I know my transgressions, and my sin is ever before me. Against you, you alone, have I sinned, and done what is evil in your sight, so that you are justified in your sentence and blameless when you pass judgment."
