We had just finished a study and were about to share our prayer requests when one of them began by saying: “If you could please pray for me, I feel like I’m addicted to shopping.

ODJ: confession

While visiting a friend in Marseille, France, we stopped by an old church. I took in the cold stone floors, the magnificent ancient walls and the smell of the musty wooden pews.

My friend quietly commented that the act of confessing our sins one to anoth
