“Then the word of the Lord came to me: “O house of Israel, can I not do with you as this potter has done? declares the Lord. Behold, like the clay in the potter’s hand, so are you in my hand, O house of Israel. If at any time I declare concerning a nation or a kingdom, that I will pluck up and break down and destroy it, and if that nation, concerning which I have spoken, turns from its evil, I will relent of the disaster that I intended to do to it.”

Jeremiah 18:5-8 ESV

All,

This stands out because the Lord says, “if that nation, concerning which I have spoken, turns from its evil, I will relent of the disaster that I intended to do to it.” How important is repentance? God loves everyone of us and is waiting to forgive, but how does He forgive without repentance? The world wants to say that sin isn’t sin, however, God says to acknowledge the sin and repent and trust Him. Please pray that we and our friends repent of any sin and abide in Christ today. Please pray for John as he is building his group.
