Daily Turnings

“Now repent of your sins and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped away. Then times of refreshment will come from the presence of the Lord, and he will again send you Jesus, your appointed Messiah.”

Acts 3:19–20
view in context

Encouragement for Today

Here’s the essence of the gospel in a sentence: Turn from your sins; turn toward God. Then you’ll be cleansed of sin, and God will bring refreshment from his very presence. This “turning” doesn’t happen just once, but daily. Daily we find ourselves not facing God, but facing temptation, or our own selfishness, or even our own pain inflicted by others. As soon as we become aware of this, we can turn back to God. Whenever you don’t sense God’s presence, ask yourself: In what direction am I facing? Do I need to turn around?

Hello Janet, this is a nice site in the sense that you record your own reflections on the words of God. Acts 3:19-20 clearly commands repentance for the absolution of our sins. Repentance merits us to turn to Jesus Christ and accept him as our Lord and Saviour, then we turn to God.
I suggest you to also visit other sites such as:
http://balutpress.com/warren
http://pinoyski.com/vangie
http://escribarium.org/norman
http://escribarium.org/gigi
http://expositor.org
These sites are all good sites to learn the Word deeply and more profoundly from. These sites promote the Words as written in the scriptures, they are not interpreted loosely for these bloggers are my churchmates and our church, being a strictly Bible-believing church, encourages its members to minister also on the web and to stick to the Bible’s own interpretation (marami kasi ini-interpret ang Bible ng mali). It is my sincerest hope to meet you sometime and share insights to you as well. You can reach me on my email.
Regards!
