Unresolved Guilt




Reaching Your World with Luis Palau show

Summary: This week I received a note from a husband and wife who said, "Luis, will you please pray for our daughter?  Two years ago she told us that she didn't believe in Jesus anymore.  She said she believed there was a creator, but he wouldn't have done what he did to his son on the cross. I led her to the Lord when she was 10 years old.  I just left from visiting with her in Hawaii and she told me she doesn't believe in any religion.  I told her it wasn't about religion but a heart relationship with our creator."  And, the note goes on. As I read, I said to myself, "Uh oh, who's she sleeping with?"  And, sure enough, when I turned the page over, this note from the dad and mom, it goes on to say, "She is living with a guy who was raised in a certain religious church and was beaten up by his father because he wouldn't go to church on weekends.  So he feels exactly as our daughter."Now this is the point, when people are brought up knowing the Bible and knowing about Jesus Christ and then they insist that they don't believe anymore, the reason basically is this: unresolved guilt.  You either confess your sins and are forgiven, or you find excuses.  We'll go on with this one some other day.
