Listen to the latest 60 second episode of Integrity Moments with Rick Boxx
In this series, we’re discussing the stages of true repentance. The third stage is to stop sinning.
One of my favorite videos is Bob Newhart as a counselor who only charges $5 for a 5-minute session. When a patient tells him of her fear of being buried alive in a box, Newhart says to her, “I have two words.” He then shouts, “Stop it!”
Once you’ve acknowledged your sin and are remorseful, the next step is to stop committing that sin.
Jesus healed a man by the pool of Bethesda. In John 5:14 Jesus said, “See, you are well again. Stop sinning or something worse may happen to you.”
The meaning of repent is to turn from sin. Ask God to help you to stop sinning, then just Stop It.
