“I see a trend in many churches where people are beginning
to enjoy convicting sermons. They
walk out feeling broken over their sin. The distorted part is that they can
begin to feel victorious in their sadness.
They boast, ‘I just heard the most convicting message, and it ruined me!’ The
focus is on the conviction itself and not the change it is meant to produce—change
that doesn’t necessarily follow when we stay focused on conviction. Guilt is
not always a good thing. It is only good if it leads us past sorrow to the joy
of repentance.” Francis Chan
