This is my beautiful daughter-in-law, Joni, meditation on some writings during the Presentsense event at our church.
He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy. Proverbs 28:13' If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us. 1John 1:8-10 feedback@freebiblemusic.com Feel Free to Download and GIVE AWAY our music.
