For my friends who are joining me in reading Respectable Sins: Confronting the Sins We Tolerate by Jerry Bridges, I wanted to give you an update. Starting next week, September 11th, I will begin posting about the book. Each Tuesday, I will reflect on the chapters we read and provide you with additional Scriptures to read and questions to reflect on. Additionally, I will post questions on my Facebook page to encourage dialogue. I hope that you will share with us what you are learning, how God is convicting you, and how you have seen the gospel at work in your life.

This book will take us deep into areas of our heart we don’t usually touch. Like the appliances in our kitchen that we rarely move and clean behind, there are areas in our hearts that we don’t usually expose to the cleansing power of God’s Word. But we are in this together, so let’s dive in. Be prepared to be pierced by the Word. Expect conviction. But know that the Spirit does not point out sin where He is not also ready to help you clean it up. This book will not only challenge you to identify sins you’ve not realized were in your heart, but it will also help you apply the cleansing power of the gospel to those sins.

For next Tuesday, read the first two chapters of the book. We will be covering two chapters a week.

Any questions? Contact me and I will try to answer them.
