• The most effective means of witness is to tell one’s own story of deliverance from the guilt and penalty of sin.
• If not us redeemed sinners proclaiming the mercy of God, then who?!
• The church must be the place where former rebels have a voice for the restoration of others!
“David’s song and story are proof that God’s intention for those who crash and burn is not for them to stay quiet.”

• In whatever condition we find ourselves, God stands ready to restore us through confession and repentance, and to dispense His mercy in the forgiveness for our sins.
