In this video, Chris Braun shares what to do if you aren't grieving sin.
Chris Brauns is the senior pastor at the Red Brick Church in Stillman Valley, Illinois. He has served in pastoral ministry for over thirty years. His books include Unpacking Forgiveness and When the Word Leads Your Pastoral Search.
People don’t usually associate the word “repentance” with happiness, but Scripture says it’s cause for celebration. Angels rejoice over sinners who repent. A once heartbroken father threw a party for his prodigal son. True repentance is “coming home” to find joy in God. Why do so many people today view it as a burden?
Pastor Chris Brauns explains that deep, abiding gladness comes when we grieve sin and turn toward Jesus. This thorough study of repentance examines the Old and New Testaments as well as the Westminster Shorter Catechism. It is made practical with reflection questions, prayers, and advice for daily sanctification. As readers apply biblical principles, they will experience life-giving joy in their spiritual lives and restoration in their relationships.
