Nothing like airing out all our dirty laundry and getting things off our chest!
All those things that we cling to in fear that someone might find out about. Yeah...those secret sins that we keep so well hidden deep in our heart. Instead of confessing to our brothers and sisters in Christ like the Bible tells us to in James 5:16,"Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed...",
we keep them hidden allowing our "dirty laundry" to darken our heart leaving a deep dark stain.
James must have been onto something here. It's amazing the amount of healing that takes place when we allow God to light up our dark corners and expose sin for what it really is and how confession completely disarms the hold that sin has over our heart. Oh the power that God has given through confession!
I would like to encourage you to check out this website that gives you an opportunity to confess whatever it is that you are holding tight to. This is a completely safe and anonymous site that one of our sister churches has setup.

Go and enjoy the freedom that God desires for us to have when we confess all that we have! Experience His wonderful joy that only comes from God!
