Clarifying Confusion on Confession
2:56 PMHeatherLest any of you doubt, why yes, I was a preacher's kid. As today's blog post title attests, I can do alliteration with the best of them--because it's in my blood.
On the topic of this blog post, I have to say that I feel I have spent much of my adult life unraveling confusion and misunderstandings about faith from my childhood. I grew up in a strong Christian home--it's not that anyone misled me. It's more that I took the information and training given to me and saw them through my own immature perspective. Kinda like I was confused by osmosis because maybe some things weren't clearly explained. I don't think I knew enough to ask questions or have an open dialog on these matters. But as my faith became my own in my college years, I realized for the first time that some cloudy things were just that--cloudy and perhaps not on track exactly with Scripture. Can anyone relate here?

Here's the verse that I remember being taught about confessing our sins to accept Him as Lord and be saved:
