Repentance Brings Real Change

If we truly mean it when we repent, it leads to life change.   ~~~   Repentance is tangible, not just tears. Real changes result when biblical repentance is happening. 1 Samuel 7:4 tells us that the people got rid of their idols. Sometimes I wish it were as easy as that. I wish it were easy to identify idols and put them in the trash. It is in some cases, but for us our idolatry comes in the forms of attitudes and thought patterns, and not in objects of metal or wood that we bow down to. But we are called to trash them just the same. Real Spirit-led effort. Real physical change in our lives, not just tears.
