Applauding sin, repentance, and confession

This link is provided for context rather than “pick on” one person. This scenario plays out over and over. A pastor or other church staff openly confesses a sin or indiscretion to the church. The congregation applauds. What have we become? We should not applaud sin, even the confession of it. We should grieve over with a godly sorrow. One commenter on this said, “Save the standing ovations for the football field.”

What our ancestors might have thought was an April’s Fools joke has become an all too common practice.
