When I was engulfed in a very bad sin some time ago,I would have avoided much objective damage and grief if I had been told by SOMEONE I TRUSTED that I was going down the wrong road.
Being told: important.
By someone I trusted: important.
Good point. We are only as sick as the secrets that we keep. We have all “been there.” All of us have sinned and fallen short of His glory. The point is not to stay there, come back to Christ, and He forgives us and tells us to repent.
