Sin Strips Confidence
One of the most devastating effects of sin is the way it strips away our confidence.
I think it’s impossible for a pastor to confidently lead his congregation to trust God for the unknown while he’s nursing known sin in his own life.
Many fathers are unable to fully lead their families to seek and worship God because they’re aware of their own hypocrisy…and it strips their confidence away layer by layer.
Unconfessed sin will chip away at your confidence until you find yourself backing down from Christ centered challenges, and settling into survival mode. Walking in purity activates a boldness that enables you to follow Jesus with a holy swagger.
Be pure…and be bold.
1 John 3:21
Beloved, if our heart does not condemn us, we have confidence toward God.

I can really relate to that. I know that confessing my sins to God and to other people has really changed my confidence level. I am sometimes caught off guard by my confidence level these days. Being in survival mode is not a fun place to be.
