I chose to look at these topics together since they are interrelated—they both regard dealing with sin. Confession is done by the sinner and confrontation by someone else. (Here I am discussing personal confession and not corporate confession.) It seems to me that many Christians, especially conservative evangelicals, are very interested in pointing out people’s
