Just a question: Do you repent for yourself or do you repent for God?
There are many reasons why we may repent for ourselves.
Do we repent to gain heaven?
Do we repent to avoid hell?
Do we repent to get rid of the burden of sin?
Do we repent to gain a friend in Jesus?
Do we repent to be part of the family of God?
Do we repent to gain the blessings of God?
Or do we repent because of who God is?
Just thinking.

Joe ... I'm not as tech-savvy as you, but here is a link to a 3.33min video which answers your question ... a good 'old-time' Alliance preacher called Paris Reidhead ... and excerpt from his sermon (Ten Shekels and a Shirt!)40+ years ago, which addresses the question "why repent?" As you know this text is taken from Judges 17:10, so I guess Rev. Reidhead has 'stolen my thunder' as I move through my preaching series! This video would be good to show on Sunday evening - it's powerful. Here's the link http://www.tangle.com/view_video.php?viewkey=3496021cfc4e9b196d9a Gord
P.s. If it does not open go to www.tangle.com and search for the sermon title
