For I Am Sensitive To My Situation (2 of 8)
Series: Lord, I'm Coming Home
Wayne Hinson
Psalm 51:3-5
Outline:
I. True Repentance Involves An Acknowledgement Of Sin
A) Acknowledge The Reality Of Sin
B) Acknowledge The Responsibility Of Sin
C) Acknowledge The Realm Of Sin
II. True Repentance Indicates The Aim Of Sin
A) Sin Is Directed At God's Reputation

No, Nathan had tagged him, and now David was accepting the consequences for his actions. In these days of situational ethics, relative sin, and absolutely no responsibility for one's own actions, may God help us to preach the true repentance found in Psalm 51.
