Repentance: The Forgotten Command of the Gospel. In modern evangelical vocabulary, repentance has been quietly sidelined. While "faith," "grace," and "blessing" dominate contemporary Christian language, repentance—once foundational to Gospel preaching—is often diluted or discarded altogether. Yet, Scripture places repentance at the very threshold of salvation. The Gospel begins with it, the apostles proclaimed it, and the final chapters of Revelation demand it.

Confession. For many Christians, the word "confession" conjures images of dark booths, whispered sins, and clerical absolution. While that’s the legacy of post-medieval Catholicism, the Bible presents a richer, more relational view.
