Read, mark, and inwardly digest this. Confession can be painful and no one likes to focus on his/her brokenness. But confession is vital for spiritual health. See what you think.
The value of corporate confession comes simply from the fact that we are doing it with people—those we’ve been glad to share ministry with, and those we find more difficult to appreciate. A person in the next pew may have slighted us; we may have just learned that a person across the aisle was insulted by something we said. Corporate confession is a time to air it all out and reflect on our regrettable tendency to harm one another. It is a great equalizer, reminding us that we are all guilty of sinful actions and omissions, and that we all need forgiveness.
