REPENTANCE POEM

Repentance is a change of mind

and actions for tomorrow,

Repentance requires change of direction

Not just godly sorrow.

Repentance is imperative

It's God's irrevocable command,

Repent today for tomorrow's not promised

The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand.

Turn from yourself and your sin

and your distorted view of grace,

Reconcile, restore the fellowship

Repent and seek His face.

David's prayer of repentance...

                   Have mercy on me, O God, according to your unfailing love; according to your great compassion blot out my transgressions.  Wash away all my iniquity and cleanse me from my sin. For I know my transgressions, and my sin is always before me. Against you, you only, have I sinned and done what is evil in your sight, so that you are proved right when you speak and justified when you judge.Surely I was sinful at birth, sinful from the time my mother conceived me.  Surely you desire truth in the inner parts; you teach me wisdom in the inmost place. Cleanse me with hyssop, and I will be clean; wash me, and I will be whiter than snow...  Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me.  Do not cast me from your presence or take your Holy Spirit from me.  Restore to me the joy of your salvation and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me.  Then I will teach transgressors your ways, and sinners will turn back to you... O God, the God who saves me, and my tongue will sing of your righteousness.  O Lord, open my lips, and my mouth will declare your praise.  ...The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise.  PSALM 51

DON'T MISS THIS MOVE!

WHEN YOU MOVE, GOD MOVES - JUST LIKE THAT!

Anything standing still is moving backwards, you have to change to grow and you have to grow to change!

THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE FAITHFUL

Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment.
1 COR 1:10

For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another.
GAL 5:13

And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.
EPH 4:32

Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God.
EPH 5:21


Fulfill ye my joy, that ye be like-minded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind.
PHIL 2:2

Use hospitality one to another without grudging.
1 PETER 4:9

Finally, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of another, love as brethren, be pitiful, be courteous:
For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears are open unto their prayers: but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil.
But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asks you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:  
1 PETER 3:8,12,15
