Confession must be voluntary. It must come as water out of a spring, freely. … true confession drops from the lips as myrrh from the tree or honey from the comb, freely. “I have sinned against heaven, and before thee” (Luke 15:18): the prodigal charged himself with sin before his father changed him with it.
– Thomas Watson –
The Gospel that represents Jesus Christ, not as a system of truth to be received, into the mind, as I should receive a system of philosophy, or astronomy, but it represents Him as a real, living, mighty Savior, able to save me now.

A revival always includes conviction of sin on the part of the church. … Backslidden Christians will be brought to repentance. A revival of God is nothing else than a a new beginning of obedience to God.
– Charles Finney –
Sinned as we have as a nation, yet to our sin we have added pride in our sinning. The world has lost the power to blush over its vice; the church has lost her power to weep over it.
