sins

Proverbs 28:13 People who cover over their sins will not prosper. But if they confess & forsake them, they will receive mercy.

How many of us make excuses for the sins we commit?

How many of us downplay the sins we repeat, rationalizing them away?

We justify them with a casual "Oh, it's not all that bad - it's not like I killed somebody or anything."

It's hard to imagine, but sin is sin is sin to God - there's no levels of sin - one is just as bad as the other.


Let that sink in for a minute...


Yeah, one sin is a s bad as another to Him.


We judge that certain sins are worse than others. But to God, they're all one in the same - disobedience to Him.

And things won't be quite right until we own up to our sins.

And this verse plainly says if we own up to them & quit doing them, God will be merciful.


Think about it - let's quit making excuses for our sinful behavior.
