If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. 1 John 1:9
Arthur Fonzarelli, affectionately known as The Fonz on the 70s TV show "Happy Days," would never admit that he was wrong. According to The Fonz, he was never wrong. One episode shows him practicing in a mirror trying to say the word "Wrong" but he just can't do it. To my knowledge he never did admit he was wrong.
We're like that. Confession is good for the soul, but boy is it difficult to do when we're embarrassed or ashamed about what we've done. We've been Christians for so long so we should've known better, right?
And yet, there's forgiveness. There's hope. There's a clear conscience. There's freedom when we confess. There's even more freedom when He forgives.
I am wrong quite often. My ego isn’t so large however, that I can’t admit when I’m wrong.
Anyone who posts pictures of Peter Griffin’s “Church of the Fonz” gets excommunicated.
I’ve been looking for the Fonzie attempt to say “I was wrong” episode for a couple of years. Can’t find it on youtube or elsewhere. If anyone knows where it is posted, please share. I’m not looking for the entire episode, just the scene where he attempts to apologize. It’s a classic.
And what a great show it was. At least it was for the first three years, when it went down hill fast when Chachi became part of the cast.
