Sin:

   The Lord does not take anything casually, and neither should we.    His Word is clear.  He will not tolerate and He will not compromise.  What He will do, is forgive a genuinely repentant heart.    Soldier of The Cross, no one has it all together.  There is no Believer who has ever "arrived."  If you were to meet with the most mature, the most published, the most respected, they would tell you that they have never climbed up onto any plateau that removes them from the need to confess and repent.    We have a glorious gift.  He who saved us by Grace has made it clear that He longs for a heart that is completely available.  That means repentance - a turning from one direction and the embracing of another.    There is nothing else.
