Confessing Sins After Salvation?

Obviously he passed none of that concern on to them, and rather all the blame upon the elders of the LC's and the saints, supposedly because they had not supported his ministry absolutely enough. When BP, RK, and MC came to the Midwest, filing lawsuits, stealing church assets, excommunicating brothers, dividing homes, and destroying LC's, there was NO LOVE, none at all, only allegiance to LSM and loyalty to WL.

Agreed - too little too late! The words were nice, but little to nothing in the way of actual works of love to back-up those words.

I remember nearly 20 years ago doing a hike by myself and talking to the Lord. I got a real impression that He cared very little about my sin in our conversation - He didn't want me to look at it! I remember then standing up in a gathering here and telling saints about it, loudly declaring "He cares nothing about sin - NOTHING!" I believe that's true, because His work is so complete in Christ for the purpose of immediately bringing us back into fellowship with Him.

That was a pretty strong statement for me to make, and one that the enemy likes to "throw through" accusing thoughts about into my mind. But let me say that the aspect of sin I think God does care about is its affect on us - it damages us, clouds our thinking, fills us with doubt, and tends to make us alienated in our minds towards Him. I believe that's what He hates, and we should just be quick to turn to Him about all of it - since He's made that possible in Christ! ("Daddy, I'm sorry, I broke it again . . . do You still love me?")
