This is a therapeutic exercise were I admit publicly some of my faults. I helps me gets things out and it keeps me humble. I would suggest doing it even it it is not on a blog. Just get a sheet of paper and write down all of your faults and share them with some one. Ask them to pray for you. Here are a few and only a few of my confessions.
- I have slept through sermons: I put the sermons into in the computer each week and I listen to them as I load the podcast. I hear each and every sermon all the way through several times a week. I hear and see Philip all of the time. I go to bed late and get up early everyday. I sit in the back booth of the auditorium. So yes on occasion I have fallen asleep during a service.
- I don’t always put my family first: This is a hard one to admit. I love my wife and kids. I work as hard as I do for them but sometimes I lose focus on what is really important. My family is my first ministry everything else shoud come second. I am not always the Godly husband or father I should be. This is something I work on everyday.
- I am a control freak and it gets the best of me: I want things done my way so bad sometimes that I don’t ask God how does he want it.
- I don’t trust it unless I touch it myself: My wife hates this about me. She will tell me 4 times something is a certain way but until I see it for myself I am not happy. I have a hard time giving responsibilities in the church to people because I want it done a certain way. I catch my self doing too much because I am not willing to trust others. I don’t trust God to bring me the right people.
- I want to know too much: I try to stay up on the latest trends in culture and technology and it get exhausting. I need to spend more time stepping back and enjoy whats around me.
