I’m not sure that I’ve been taught that confession and repentance need to be a natural rhythm to a mature Follower of Christ. Maybe some traditions do a better job at this teaching but it’s been weak in my experience. I grew up thinking that confession and repentance was a one time done event. But no knee is perfect and we continue to mess up. Confessing our inappropriate actions with a sincere turn around is important for others to see. We mature by recognizing our failures, mistakes and sins, then inching toward a transformed lifestyle.
