On Friday morning Tiger Woods stood before his mother, a couple of hand chosen reporters, and one camera to make his public apology. He admits it was his fault. He was unfaithful...he had multiple affairs, etc. Does that surprise anyone?
He is an unbeliever, a Buddhist. Doesn't surprise me...I'm surprised he didn't have more affairs actually. Why? Because he is living in darkness and depravity. Is there any end to wickedness. Genesis reminds us that "the inclination of the human hearts is evil continually."
Then the question comes whether or not Tiger meant the apology. I believe he did? But, he was not sorry and remorseful for what he had done to God Almighty. He is sorry that his wife left him, his endorsements left him, and some of his fans left him. He ought not to fear these things, but he ought to fear the terrible wrath of God against his wickedness.
Can we learn anything from Tiger Woods? We can be reminded of the nature of fallen man and without the guidance of Divine grace in the heart, man leads himself into all kinds of wickedness.
That is a good point Pastor. The media questioned the authenticity of his sorrow, but as Christians we should concern ourselves with the type of our sorrow. Godly sorrow leads to repentance, (2 Cor 7:10), but worldly sorrow leads to death. Are we sorry for the guilt of our sins or the consequences of our sins? Glad to see you started this blog.
