Communal Action

As I was reading in Leviticus 4:13-15, there is a concept of communal sin that I don't understand. The community sins and the elders take responsibility for the sin. As it was playing out, I felt the Spirit saying that I needed to pay attention to this and confess and repent for my family and declare a new mission for the family.

So, my wife and I listed all of the family sins and we confessed them. Then we erased each sin and wrote a good work/principle in its place. For instance - Racism we erased and instead put "Reconciliation". As head of the home I declared the cycle of sins broken by the authority of Jesus Christ and declared the good ways we would pass on instead.
