Attorneys have this right called privileged communication that no body else has.  Everybody else has a responsibility to testify in court if summoned but lawyers have a legal right to hold back the truth when representing a client.  This privilege is given to lawyers so that criminals can be honest with their lawyers without any fear of judgment.....

When you are genuinely sorry about what you have done, it shows and God loves it. Genuine “sorry” is the ticket to heaven. I don’t know how you plan to get to heaven but that is how I got there....

No matter how you feel about yourself today,  no matter what kind of mistakes you have already made,  a new beginning waits for your embrace. Don’t be hard on yourself.  God isn’t.  Forget the former things and do not dwell on the past. 

Today is the beginning of the rest of your life.....

In the end, it is not a question of how much sin you have committed.  In the end,  it is a question of whether or not you have received the forgiveness of your sins.....

the Bible says “Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry, and do not give the devil a foothold.” Eph 4:26-27.  What does the sun have to do with our anger?  Nothing.  But the point is that you should settle your anger the same day before the sun sets.....

We all know that God is perfect.  But, we also need to know that He is not a perfectionist.  He doesn’t expect perfection from us,  though He has it in its fullness.  “We do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses......

When you forgive, you win, the person you forgive wins, and the Lord is pleased.  The only one who loses is the devil.  Who cares if the devil loses? He has been like that for more than 2,000 years, anyways.....

“Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.” Rom. 12:21. 

Notice how it says “Do not BE overcome” and not “do not overcome”.  Because even when you think you have overcome evil with evil,  you are actually being overcome by it......

There are people who take God’s forgiveness as permission, license if you will, to sin.  Watch out!  This is a widespread disease.  You don’t want to get it.  It is like playing with fire.  Understanding that forgiveness is not a license is crucial to maintaining a healthy relationship with the Lord. 

“In your anger do not sin: Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry, and do not give the devil a foothold.” Eph 4:26-27

 When it comes to anger, the questions are these:  What angers you?  What do you do when you are angry?   In the interest of time I will leave the first question aside.  Paul dealt with the second question in this verse.  He gave us a straight forward answer:  In your anger do not sin.....

“If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.” 1 John 1:9.

Jesus not only forgives but also purifies. Jesus not only trashes our sins but also empties the trash can at a dump site called Calvary. Like most dump sites Calvary is out of town. That is where all the trashes of our lives end up......

If all the people on this planet were to apply it to their lives, this Bible verse has the power to turn the earth into heaven. “Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.” Rom 12:21.......
