Guilt: Teaching Pastor Wes Hamilton
(August 10, 2008)
As the first agent of destruction, guilt affects us in two stages: a godly sorrow (conviction), and a malignant guilt (the one that kills). Teaching Pastor Wes Hamilton likens these to cholesterol: like HDL, or good cholesterol, godly sorrow promotes heart health; while LDLs, or bad cholesterol, being the malignant guilt, will slowly and silently build up until it cuts off the nutrients that the heart desperately needs for life. He also discusses the “antidote” for guilt found in 1 John 1:8-9.
