Broadcast<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n The Year in Review - Part 3\n Psalm 32:5\n 12\/31\/2025\n\n\n 5 I acknowledged my sin to you, and I did not cover\n my iniquity; I said, I will confess my\n transgressions to the LORD, and you forgave the\n iniquity of my sin. (ESV)\n\n We are counting down the top truths you have heard in the\n Moments of Meditation broadcast in 2025. First on the list, the\n Bible is the Word of God. Next, the Law, one of the two great\n teachings of the Bible, accuses us of sin so that we may hear the\n Gospel.\n\n King David, the author of many of the Psalms, did some\n amazingly bad things. He committed adultery with the wife of one\n of his officers, then had the officer killed in battle so to\n cover up the sin. Yet the second child born to Bathsheba, the\n wife of Uriah the Hittite, was Solomon, a direct ancestor of\n Jesus.\n\n David tried to keep quiet about this sin, to cover up\n Bathsheba's shame, and to go on with life. He wrote Psalm 32\n after Nathan the prophet rightly accused him of his sin. Rather\n than striking David dead, God forgave him. The consequences were\n brutal, the death of the infant son born to Bathsheba, but there\n is redemption.\n\n He wrote: ``I acknowledged my sin to you, and I did not\n cover my iniquity; I said, I will confess my transgressions to\n the LORD, and you forgave the iniquity of my sin.''\n\n The reason the Bible was written was not to accuse us of\n sin, but to show us that our loving, gracious, and merciful God\n sent His Son into the flesh to bear our sins and be our Savior.\n That is the Gospel. Forgiveness is a gift, given for the sake of\n Christ Jesus, something we do not and cannot earn.\n\n May our Lord give us the comfort of the Gospel, especially\n when we are overwhelmed with the enormity of our sin. Amen.<\/code><\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"December 31, 2025 Broadcast<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4266","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-turn-your-radio-on-2025"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4266","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4266"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4266\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4267,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4266\/revisions\/4267"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4266"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4266"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4266"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
