In this exhortation, Pastor Mike Schumann illustrates the present-tense shame we may feel when we allow any unconfessed sin to remain. Our Father does not disown us when we confess our sins to him, for he knows our weakness and failings. Therefore, we should go near to God by confession. For when we confess our sins, God is faithful and just to forgive us. He listens, and hears, and forgives us.
