The woman at the Global Mission Event told us that northerners were not free from guilt regarding slavery; nor were people whose ancestors came over after the 13-15th amendments. I qualified for innocence on both counts, but that wasn't good enough for her.
Then I said something about there not being any gospel in it, which in retrospect was a weak attempt at self-justification (aren't they all?).
She was right. She was calling me to repentance; that is always right.
How about this definition - repentance is the rejection of self-justification.
