Episode 214 - Hidden Sins

Welcome to Daily Growth Point, I’m Pastor John Bingham.Charles Lindbergh was one of the most famous and admired men in the world. Following his solo flight across the Atlantic in 1927, he gained world renowned. People looked up to Lindbergh and admired him as a man of virtue and character. What they did not know was that Lindbergh had seven illegitimate children scattered across Europe. The temptation to hide and cover our sins rather than dealing with it goes all the way back to the fig leaves Adam and Eve wore as they hid from God in the Garden of Eden. We will try almost anything to avoid having to admit that we have done wrong. God does not always immediately bring to light what we have done and punish us like we deserve. Sometimes He gives us grace and forbearance to see if we will return to Him on our own. The only way to deal with sin is not to hide it, but to repent and confess and forsake it quickly.
