A Message from Chuck: The Strength of a Broken Spirit
In our world today, we’re taught that the greatest sign of strength is never admitting you’re wrong. We’re told to “stand our ground,” to “defend our image,” and to never let ‘em see us sweat. We think of apology as a weakness and confession as a defeat. But friend, in the economy of God, the path to the top starts at the very bottom. The most powerful words a human being can ever utter aren’t “I am right,” but “I am sorry.”
In this video, we are looking at the beautiful, difficult discipline of the soul: I Humbly Repent.
Repentance isn’t just a religious word for feeling bad about yourself. It’s a change of mind that leads to a change of direction. It’s the moment you stop running away from God and start running toward Him. It’s not a path of shame; it’s the doorway to peace. We’ll explore:
- The Hurdle of Pride: Why “I was wrong” is often the hardest sentence to form, and why our pride is the greatest enemy of our progress.
- Repentance vs. Regret: Understanding that true repentance involves more than just being sorry you got caught—it’s a desire for a restored relationship.
- The Response of the Father: How God meets our humble confession not with a slap of judgment, but with the embrace of a loving Parent.
Don’t let your past keep you in a prison of your own making. There is a freedom that only comes when we stop hiding and start humbling ourselves before the throne of Grace. Let’s look at how to take that first step home.
