Notes on Sunday AM class

Acts 19:19 - Those who practiced sorcery came together publicly to burn their books. While they were not commanded to destroy their books, it was the only thing they could do in order to be truly repentant.

Sometimes it is necessary to rid ourselves of physical things in order to repent. Other times we need only to change our attitude. If our problem is lack of patience, or anger with our brother, the solution is not to kick him out of the house, but to humble ourselves and work through our differences.

Whether getting rid of things or attitudes, repentance requires a sacrifice. We must be willing to give up something when we desire to change.
