087-When someone accuses you of making a mistake, what is your first reaction?

All too often it is to justify our actions, make excuses, blame someone else, or run for cover.

The Bible is full of this kind of behavior. It started all the way back with Adam. Instead of taking responsibility for eating the forbidden fruit, he blamed Eve.

What if Adam had actually gone to God and repented for his sin before God came looking for him? Obviously, that didn't happen, but it gives us something to think about.

In this week's episode, I talk about 

• Our reluctance to repent and the solution
• Why we need to accept responsibility for our thoughts and actions
• The best way to repent
• What repentance really is
• God's forgiveness is always available for you

The important thing is to strive toward admitting your mistakes as soon as possible after you make them.  

Repentance and forgiveness go hand in hand.
