Blame, Shame, or Change?

We all experience failure, but what matters most is how we respond when our sin is exposed. In 2 Corinthians 7:2-16, Paul describes how the Corinthians responded to his correction with godly sorrow that led to repentance and a change of direction. Their example challenges us to consider whether we respond to failure with blame, excuses, and shame or with honesty, repentance, and a willingness to change.
