What confession of sin is NOT: 1. Informing a human priest in the confession booth. 2. Giving God information. “God, You won’t believe what I've done.” 3. Speculating. “IF...I have sinned...” 4. Saying “I’m sorry...” “....just a joke!” 5. Asking/pleading to God for forgiveness for our sins. Forgiveness already available in Christ's death. 6. Plea-bargaining for a lesser charge. “Yes...but....” 7. Emotional groveling; mental contortions. 8. Psychological catharsis. “Feel good when you get it off your chest” 9. Superficial or flippant incantation. (Sin was reason for Jesus’ death). 10. “Confessionalism” – (Excessive sin-consciousness; wallowing in weakness; focusing on ‘flesh’; navel-gazing introspection; “Worm-theology”; Pride of sinfulness; back-handed basis of spirituality; exhibitionism; revel in relating sinfulness in testimony; Who was the worst?). 11. Based on false established attitudes which create false-guilt and false-confession. Some try to agree with God that something is wrong, when God never said it is sin. But, if not done in faith, it is sin. (Rom. 14:23).

1/4	c	Soy sauce
2		Garlic cloves; forced through a
		; garlic press
1	tb	Asian; (toasted) sesame oil
1	ts	Minced fresh gingerroot
1 1/2	tb	Sugar

8		Scallions; trimmed

INSTRUCTIONS

In a small bowl whisk together the soy sauce, the garlic, the oil, the
gingerroot, the sugar, the vinegar, the sesame seeds, and the pepper.
Thread the steak cubes loosely onto 4 of the skewers and thread the
remaining skewer crosswise through the middle of each scallion so that the
scallions stand parallel to one another. Put the beef and scallion kebabs
in a shallow dish just large enough to hold them, pour the marinade over
them, coating them well, and let the kebabs marinate, chilled, turning them
frequently, for 25 minutes. Grill the kebabs on an oiled rack set about 6
inches over glowing coals, turning them, for 10 minutes. Alternatively the
kebabs may be broiled under a preheated broiler about 4 inches from the
heat in the same manner.) Divide the beef and the scallions, both removed
from the skewer, between 2 plates.
Serves 2.
