As we continue to grow and mature in Christ, I pray that our lives will be filled with humility and confession as we seek to follow God and His commands. -Mickey 1) Pray for God to open your eyes to what the Bible says about the concept of confession and how it applies to our daily lives as Christians. 2) Read Psalm 32:3-5. Describe the life of the Psalmist before he confessed his sin. What did God do when that confession took place? 3) Read 1 John 1:8-10 three times, stopping each time to reflect. What things about confession stand out to you? What connections are there between you and these verses? Is there anything in your life that needs to change in light of these verses? Have mercy on me, O God, according to your steadfast love; according to your abundant mercy blot out my transgressions. Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin! (Psalm 51:1–2) Volume 5 January 25, 2015 Who was told by an angel that his son was to be named John? Last Week’s Answer: What Hebrew governed Egypt?

Everyone is encouraged to attend. In the same book about shame that I mentioned last week, Dr. Wilson provides some scriptural passages that can help get you started seeing yourself as God sees you when you are in Christ. Her list fits perfectly into our series of Who Are You? Here is a portion of that list. -Mickey Your Identity in Christ GIVE ME THE BIBLE: We recently received an announcement that the “Give Me the Bible” television program can now be seen over KMSS Fox 33 out of Shreveport. The program airs each Sunday morning at 6:30. It is sponsored by numerous congregations of the Lord’s Church in the East Texas area. MISSION MEAL: The SOUTHERN CHRISTIAN MEAL will be this Tuesday, January 27. SYMPATHY: Our hearts go out to Clara Betts, and her family, on the death of her brother, TONY GABBARD, in an auto accident last Sunday. You are a child of God, and you belong to him (John 1:12; 1 Peter 2:9). You are chosen by God (Ephesians 1:4). You have been called by God (Romans 8:28, 30). You have access to God through Jesus (Ephesians 2:18; 3:12). You are forgiven and your sin debt is paid (Colossians 2:13-14). You are not condemned (Romans 8:1). You are God’s handiwork (Ephesians 2:10; Philippians 1:6; 2:13). Your body is the Holy Spirit’s abode (1 Corinthians 6:19; John 14:16). You have everlasting life (John 6:47). You have abundant life (John 10:10). You have been rescued from the dominion of darkness and brought into the kingdom of God’s Son (Colossians 1:13).
