The Worship of Honesty
BroKen & Believing | Rev. Kenn Blanchard
• Psalm 51:6 — “You desire truth in the inward parts.” • Mark 9:24 — “Lord, I believe; help my unbelief.” • Psalm 34:18 — “The Lord is close to the brokenhearted.” There’s a kind of worship that doesn’t need a microphone. It doesn’t need a Hammond B3. It doesn’t need a choir or a praise team. It’s the worship that happens when you finally tell God the truth. Not the church truth. Not the rehearsed truth. Not the “I’m blessed and highly favored” truth. I’m talking about the real truth. The truth you don’t post. The...

Dont Walk Away From the Mirror - 65
BroKen & Believing | Rev. Kenn Blanchard
Don’t Walk Away From the Mirror - James 1:23-24 There’s a certain kind of honesty that only shows up when you’re standing in front of a mirror. Not the mirror you check before you leave the house. I’m talking about the mirror that tells the truth. The mirror that doesn’t care about your title, your age, your résumé, or your excuses. The mirror that shows you you. James says that hearing God’s Word without doing anything about it is like looking in that mirror, seeing something wrong, and then walking away like you didn’t see a thing. And family…...

Worship in the Valleys of the Shadow of Death - 62
BroKen & Believing | Rev. Kenn Blanchard
Psalm 23:4 Family, everybody loves to talk about worship on the mountaintop. When the sun is shining, the bills are paid, the body feels strong, and the future looks bright — oh, we know how to worship then. But the older I get, the more I realize: the deepest worship doesn’t come from the mountain. It comes from the valley.
info_outlineFalse Guilt = not good enough
Howbeit there is not in every man that knowledge: for some with conscience of the idol unto this hour eat it as a thing offered unto an idol; and their conscience being weak is defiled.
But not everyone possesses this knowledge. Some people are still so accustomed to idols that when they eat sacrificial food they think of it as having been sacrificed to a god, and since their conscience is weak, it is defiled.
1 Corinthians 8:7
False guilt can result in depression and spiritual paralysis. Someone suffering from false guilt may feel that God has given up on him and despair of ever being sanctified. False guilt tends to be very “me-centered,” rather than God-centered. The tendency is to think we’ll never be good enough and focus on our shortcomings.
The cure for false guilt is the gospel. If you’re a Christian, start by confessing any known sin. The promise of God in 1 John 1:9 is for believers: “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.” Remember that, once a sin has been forgiven, it’s forgiven for good. God separates our sin from us “as far as the east is from the west” (Psalm 103:12).
