Repent

‘Repent’ is a word that has fallen out of favour, maybe because fundamentalists like Israel Folau like using it to make us feel bad. But Advent is a time to repent in the true sense of the word. A time to check up and see if we remain open to the painful process of being constantly challenged and transformed by the power of God. Have you shut any doors lately?
