Paul, I love this so much!!!! So well formatted in thought and in references. “There no such thing as better or worse sinners only there is unrepentant sinners and repentant sinners”
This I’ve noticed in my own life to be true. God is not scaling my sin, He’s only wanting me to simply turn back toward Him in whatever regard and abandon the erred way.
"Repentance is...the moment we stop trying to fix the old, broken road and finally step onto the right one."--this is SO good!
I have never considered repentance and the narrow road or progressive and unprogressive in this way before, but what a great illustration. Thanks for sharing, Paul!
Love how Jesus addresses the “wrong thinking” of the crowd; have often wondered if he’s speaking personally, for at this stage of his ministry, Joseph is not present. If we logically assume that Joseph is no longer alive, how did he die, was there a tragedy involved, is it even possible that Joseph was one of those killed in the Siloam tower incident??
Thanks Chuck. Those are some good questions, I find I can easily think wrongly about a person or circumstance, what I can control is asking the Lord to make clear my own sin and need for repentance. And yes so many questions in each story of the Bible.
I love this. True repentance begins with dragging the ugliest parts of our nature into the light and ends with us beatified abd still loved. Thanks for the read Paul!

This was so good. Thank you for helping me to make the connection between repentance and the narrow road! I needed that clarity so thank you!
Thanks Tina.
