Rounding the Corner

Home free! Not exactly...We have been reading Bonhoeffer's life Together as part our leaders' training series this "academic" year at the Center for Faith & Work. The last chapter is on confession and communion. James 5:16 Confess your faults one to another. Does that mean approaching the nearest person and do a brain dump or air out your dirty little secrets? We should and can be more discriminating. There is a sense of liberation when we take our burdens and share them. Of course, bring the issue to God first and foremost, then upon examination through prayer, seek wisdom and grace through the community of believers. Last evening, the entrepreneurs group discussed why we need mentors or advisors in our lives. It is Biblical to be invested and engaged in the lives of those who we think can help us and those who might benefit from our time. So, if you are not there yet in confession and community, time to start rounding the bases and turning that corner.
