What does repentance look like in the home? Well, you know, one thing that comes to mind, I'm thinking of Psalm 32 where David talks about how blessed is the one whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered. He stated that after a grave fall into sin concerning Bathsheba and her husband and all the terrible things that he did in association with that. Well, David wrote that psalm and no doubt everybody in his household knew all about it. And we're very aware that he was now the one proclaiming, you know, it's a great blessing to have your transgression forgiven.

And he speaks later in that psalm about how when I was silent about my sin, when I was hiding my sin, he said, I lived in misery. I was grieved all day long. And we've got to, in our homes, show a transparent spirit before our wife and children about our own struggles with sin, our willingness to turn from them. I think it involves if we're going to be doing family worship and as We engage in regular readings of the word together. When sin is uncovered, it's amazing how often I've told many dads that you'll find when you have the habit of family worship that the chapter you read today will talk about the sin you committed in front of the family yesterday.

And it's going to happen plenty of times. And when that does, you've got to see that as the providence of God and open up and recognize that He's doing that in order for you to have opportunity to put on display how real and impactful the Word of God is.
