MID-WEEK MESSAGE FROM YOUR PASTOR’S DESK:
PREP FOR LORD’S SUPPER : CONFESSION.
See 1 John 1: 9, 10. Here’s a vital preparation to qualify to receive the benefits and blessings of forgiveness, peace, joy, prosperity and eternal salvation.- The conditions for obtaining God’s mercy and forgiveness are simple, just and reasonable. We need not make long and wearisome pilgrimages, or perform painful penance (righteousness by works) to commend our souls to God or to atone for our sins. See Prov. 28:13.
The apostle says, Confess your faults one to another, pray for one another, that you may be healed. James 5:16. Confess your sins to God, who only can forgive them, and your faults to one another.
