The Elephant In The Room by Dr Michael H Yeager

The phrase "the elephant in the room" is used to describe an obvious problem or difficult situation that people avoid discussing or acknowledging. In a spiritual context, if we consider the "elephant in the room" to be sin, it means that sin is a pervasive and significant issue that individuals often avoid confronting or addressing.

Scripture teaches us that all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God:

"For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;" (Romans 3:23, KJV)

Moreover, the Bible encourages us to confess our sins and seek forgiveness:

"If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." (1 John 1:9, KJV)

Addressing the "elephant in the room" by acknowledging and confronting sin in our lives is essential for our spiritual growth and relationship with God. By repenting and seeking God's grace and forgiveness, we can experience transformation and renewal:

"Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new." (2 Corinthians 5:17, KJV)
