While conducting a revival service in Flint, Michigan several years ago, I gave an opportunity for confession of sin. A woman, who had not been attending the meetings, quickly spoke. Desiring to set a good example, she confessed to laziness.
I would like to talk to you today about freedom from worry. The signs of the time create anxiety in thoughtful minds. Every race is filled with fear, suspicion, and distrust. Is there anywhere a place of security?
I would like to talk to you today about heavenly garments. A small girl, about four years old, walked along the edge of the cemetery with her father. She pointed to the graves and asked, “What are they, Daddy?”
I would like to talk to you today about love. Have you ever found yourself in a situation where you had to work with someone you could not love? Remember that God loves that person as much as He loves you and me.
Have you ever wanted to be free as a bird? Have you wished you had wings and could fly away from all your troubles? David, the Psalmist, did. He was a good man but engulfed in great trouble.
I would like to talk with you about the beautiful effects of love in the believer and the peace available to you through Christ Jesus. Real love is long-suffering. It causes us to love our neighbor as ourselves.
I would like to talk to you today about finding true happiness. Too many of God’s children are not happy when they should be. I talked to a 22year-old man who told me he was miserable.
I would like to talk to you today about the family. I was sitting with a
young mother who had just been told that her husband had been killed
in an accident.
I would like to talk to you today about confessing sin in the life and
heart of the believer. St. Paul confessed himself to be chief of sinners.
His sins may not be all that obvious to us, but God saw them.
