Wasn't Dr. Bock's sermon an interesting unveiling of God's word? Have you ever thought of repentance to mean the horizontal living out of the Word? I understand the vertical aspect of it, but have not before considered or heard that by definition that word means the
SPECIFIC fruit- of-the-Spirit behavior with which we are to bless each other. I suppose I just thought true repentance helps us live a more purposeful, loving life, as a result of our repentance.
How like the LORD to reveal some of His mysteries to those seeking understanding; don't you love it? And ... as a result of our Father crossing the pathways of an SMU relationship with Steve (who helped lead Dr. Bock to Christ), God blessed our church body all these years later when this man stood in our pulpit. Faith means there are no coincidences...
Repentance means ... well, you already know!
