A Prayer of Confession and Contrition (Nehemiah 9:16-25)
Confession and repentance are the remedies to both individual and communal guilt.
But they—our own ancestors—acted arrogantly.They became stubborn and wouldn’t obey your commands.They refused to listen.They forgot the miracles you performed for them.They became stubborn and appointed a leaderto take them back to slavery in Egypt.But you are a forgiving God,one who is compassionate, merciful, patient,and always ready to forgive.You never abandoned them,even when they made a…

We Are All In the Same Boat (Romans 3:9-20)
To be a human being is to be intimately familiar with sin and godlessness, guilt and shame, no matter the group nor the individual.
What shall we conclude then? Do we have any advantage? Not at all! For we have already made the charge that Jews and Gentiles alike are all under the power of sin. As it is written: “There is no one righteous, not even one; there is no one who understands; there is no one who seeks God.All have turned away, they have together become worthless;there is no one who does good, not even…

Psalm 32:3 Silence Can Be Wearying
When I kept silent, my bones grew old through my groaning all the day long. Psalm 32:3 Behind closed doors and in one’s own mind, people do things that they should not do and know it is wrong. Since it is behind a closed door and in the mind, most do not think that anyone can know about it or that it will affect them. People will keep silent about anything that they did wrong and feel as if no…

At that time, while it is devastated and you are in enemy territory, the land will enjoy its sabbaths. At that time, the land will rest and enjoy its sabbaths. During the whole time it is devastated, it will have the rest it didn’t have during the sabbaths you lived in it. I will bring despair into the hearts of those of you who survive in enemy territory. Just the sound of a windblown leaf will…

Hebrews 9:23-28 – Once for All
The cross of Christ was the once for all sacrifice that has settled the sin issue forever.
Ethiopian Orthodox Church icon of Christ’s crucifixion It was necessary for the sketches of the heavenly things to be purified with these rites, but the heavenly things themselves need better sacrifices than these. For Christ did not enter a sanctuary made by human hands, a mere copy of the true one, but he entered heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God on our behalf. Nor was it to…

Genesis 42:1-28 – Guilt and Grace
Unattended guilt, over time, turns into gangrene of the soul.
When Jacob learned that there was grain in Egypt, he said to his sons, “Why do you just keep looking at each other?” He continued, “I have heard that there is grain in Egypt. Go down there and buy some for us, so that we may live and not die.”
Then ten of Joseph’s brothers went down to buy grain from Egypt. But Jacob did not send Benjamin, Joseph’s brother, with the others, because he was afraid…
