Series: God's Message to Your Emotions

Psalm 32
If you have your Bible, please turn to Psalm 32, Psalm 32. We're in a series, "God's Message in Your Emotions." We're tracing emotional pain to victorious living. And today, we want to look at that insidious emotion called guilt.
I heard about a man, and he was driving in his car. And he drove past a mental asylum. And as he did, he got a flat tire. And so he had to pull over. And he's working on his tire.

And the guy said, "That's a great idea. Wow! Thanks so much." He said, "What are you doing in a place like this, anyway?" He said, "Well, I'm in here because I'm crazy, not stupid!"
Guilt is an emotion that can drive a person crazy. I've entitled this sermon, "Haunted by the Ghost of Guilt," because that is so true. Guilt is a haunting emotion. Guilt is that feeling of sorrow and regret over wrong behavior.
You know what's a synonym of guilt? The word remorse; remorse is a really interesting word. It's comes from the Latin, re, which means "again," and mordere, which means "to ...
