Take a moment to read Psalm 51:1-17
The famous psychiatrist, Dr. Karl Meninger, asked the best question when he said, "Whatever became of sin?" He wondered out loud, and even write a book with the same title, as he saw sin being labeled as "inappropriate behavior." In our culture it is politically incorrect to hold an absolute, and yet King David, after being confronted by the prophet Nathan, is convicted of his sin and returns to God with the beautiful words of Psalm 51:
May David's prayer be our prayer. May we daily come before our holy God asking to be re-created. God promises to restore us!

Our holy God takes the reality of sin very seriously, so seriously that Jesus lived, died and rose again to conquer sin."Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me. Do not cast me from your presence or take your Holy Spirit from me. Restore to me the joy of your salvation and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me. "
May David's prayer be our prayer. May we daily come before our holy God asking to be re-created. God promises to restore us!
