Confession & Repentence

I dont know about you all but I am loving this book, the more and more I read the more and more the Lord reveals to me His heart for campuses and His Love throughout them but also, for my life, and what He wants for it.  This week the chapter is on Confession & Repentence.  The author goes into awesome detail of what America looked like in the 1790s and how, with not much chance, that we are the same, other then cell phones, cars and computers.  Sin is sin and it is serperating us from what God has, the author describes it as putting an elephant on our hose from God.  The middle paragraph on page 80 goes into great detail of the sin that Christians deal with today.... read all of them and highlight or underline which ones you find in your own life are giving you problems.
Confession is simply agreeing with God, I think that is so true, recognizing our sin, and saying.... "God I know that I have sinned." I really like how the author tied in humility of the last chapter and this chapter of confession.... because when we confess.... that is humbling ourselves.  Say you did something wrong, you stole something and the next day you go in to tell the principal or whoever, your parents, that takes a lot of humbling on your part, admitting your wrong, confessing and agreeing that what you did is wrong.  Sin is just like that in our own lives, but we will never know all of our sins if we dont ask The Holy Spirit to reveal them to us, trust me, you dont want an elephant to be chillin up on your hose from God. 
 Continue to read and tell me what you are thinking of this book, no one is commenting, come on I want to know what you guys are thinking, what you don't like, don't be scared, on the other hand, who is reading? ha!  Well.....

God Bless guys&gals
