Repentance

On today's show we discussed "Repentance."

We opened with Scripture from Mark 2:17 (King James Version) using BibleGateWay.com:
"When Jesus heard it, he saith unto them, They that are whole have no need of the physician, but they that are sick: I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance."

We followed that with an opening prayer.

---------------------------------------------

I used Answers.com to find several definitions including: "Remorse or contrition for past conduct or sin."

Bible Guide- Repentance:

The Greek word for repentance (metanoia) denotes a change of mind, which is given external credence by a change of allegiance and of lifestyle in accordance with the new values adopted.

A shout out of thanks for my Blogtalk colleague, fellow Christian blogger, Pastor Ann, who asked other show hosts to dedicate a show to the issue of Repentance during the week of April 5.

Easter v. Resurrection Sunday:

This Sunday, 12 April 2009 Christians observed what is commonly referred to as "Easter," but my Pastor, Dr. Lucius M. Dalton, of Mt. Moriah Baptist Church, and others are using the more appropriate term "Resurrection Sunday" as it places the focus on the death, burial and resurrection of Christ, and not some commercialized holiday called Easter.

Here's a link to an NPR interview with Pastor A.R. Bernard, one of my favorite radio preachers, that ran a few years ago about the notion of Resurrection Sunday.

I closed the show with a few reminders:

On Wed., 15 April, at 10 a.m. Eastern Time, I will interview with Christian author, Larry Buttram, on my other show, Write On, Right On, Write On!: http://www.blogtalkradio.com/Write-On-Right-On

and I encourage you to visit the Web site of my home church, Mt. Moriah Baptist Church www.MountMoriahChurch.org and while you're there, listen to the sermons of our Pastor, Dr. Lucius M. Dalton.

Until next week's show, on 16 April 2009 at 11 a.m. Eastern Time.

Your Brother-in-Christ,

Steve Kendall
