Jim Wilson
Recently I have appreciated the speaking of Jim Wilson. Via print and audio.
Two of which are REPENTANCE AND RESTITUTION the missing ingredient in repentance and HOW TO MAINTAIN JOY IN YOUR LIFE.
The essence of Jim's speaking is fundamentally essential in our Christian living. Something that has been horribly neglected in the high peaks teaching. If we do not practice what is being taught, then what remains is teaching and doctrine. As one brother told me "talk, talk, talk".
There is a daily need for confession. In Jim WIlson's HOW TO MAINTAIN JOY IN YOUR LIFE there's a list of Satan's Lies
1. Justify----really right
2. Excuse---really wrong, but
3 Hide-cover up
4. Pass the buck
5. Put it off
6. Vague terms
7. Mistakes-error in judgment
8. Too many to confess
9. I can't remember them all
10. Nobody's perfect
11. I'm going to do it again, so why confess
12. I'm too proud to make restitution (Levitucus 6:1-7)
13. Bitterness (Ephesians 4:31,32, Hebrews 12:15; James 3:14-16)
14. Introspection
We have experiences these lies at some point individually and corporately. Why delay confession? Right now is always the best time for repenting individually and corporately.
