       To use some Solomon phraseology, there is a time to confess in front of others and a time not to. It’s just like Jesus talked about in the Sermon on the Mount in regard to doing things before others. I think people, now watch this, people can actually take pride in confessing their sins. What I mean is that sometimes people actually get a high from their seemingly humble, in their own estimation, presentation before others. They think they look good because they have the guts to actually confess some sins. I would say that a good time to confess your sin, whether in front of your Bible study or discipleship group or whatever, a good time to do it is when you feel it will be beneficial to others to see that you struggle as well. People can get the idea that others are awesome super-Christians, and that they’re the only person struggling. But, when one of these so called super-Christians actually speaks up, and says, “You know, I have been struggling with this.” Or the person says, “I made this big mistake,” it can actually help those who are hearing.
