When you come to a fork in the road: Confess!

Love your neighbor.  Turn the other cheek.  Go the extra mile.  and ... when you are gonna lose your job, cheat your boss by making side deals with his clients so you can get a future job.  


What???

Jesus today tells a bizarre parable (Luke 16:1-13) that highlights the reality that this world isn't one that is full of mercy and honesty.  How do we as Christians navigate this, where we know we are supposed to live as Christians in a world that isn't very Christian?


It can be tempting to compartmentalize -- but Pastor Rob offers another way.  When we live in our daily life we inevitably have to make hard decisions.  We cannot escape real life and its problems.  Nor can we decide we don't have to be Christians with this decision.  Instead, we decide, confess the sin inevitably embedded in the decision and then trust that the Lord can make good out it.
