Desiring God: Confessing Our Sins Together
“I’m sure that most of us agree with Bonhoeffer that the confession of sin, grounded in the gospel, is a vital component of our personal spirituality. But we get a little uncomfortable when it comes to corporate dimensions of confession. It’s not too threatening to engage in silent confession when the liturgy calls us to do so in the weekend service, but when it comes to times of confession in small-group settings, we often settle for less-indicting statements like ‘I’m struggling with…’”

J.D. Greer: Why God Doesn’t Remove Our Sinful Cravings Immediately
“Every Christian I know has had the experience of coming up against the same sin—again—and wondering, ‘Will this struggle ever end?

When we experience any prolonged suffering or pain or discomfort, we have to ask, Why?”
Pyromaniacs: Poor Exchanges
“If you were once profane and are now hypocritical, you have only changed iniquities. It is a very curious thing how one sin feeds on another: the death of profligacy may be the resurrection of greed; the flight of pride may be the advent of shameless folly. The man who was lewd, riotous, brawling and irreligious has killed those sins, and on their graves he has sown a handful of a poisonous weed called pride, and it flourishes amazingly.”
