Jeremiah chapter 14 verse 20.

We acknowledge our wickedness, oh Lord, and the iniquity of our fathers, for we have sinned against you.

This is such a key verse moment, reality, not just in the book of Jeremiah, but really a key moment

and reality all throughout the Old Testament, New Testament of the Bible, and all throughout our lives.

There must be continual, frequent moments of confession of sin before God, of stopping and saying,

we acknowledge our wickedness, oh God, before you.

We have sinned against you.

And then to be specific, when I think about 1st John 1 9,

if we confess our sins, it's not just our sinfulness in general, although that's a reality.

The whole picture there is confessing specific sins, ways we have sinned against God,

acknowledging our wickedness before God.

We need to have regular times, like daily, throughout the day,

times where we are just stopping and saying, God have acted wickedly in this way or that way

God send against you in this way or that way.

So is confession a regular part of your Christian routine, specific confession of sin, specific acknowledging

of wickedness to use the words here in Jeremiah, 1420,

saying, God, I have sinned against you in this way.

Even corporately in the church together saying,

God, we have sinned against you in this way.

This should be a part of the church life,

corporate confession like that.
