repentance starts when you stop digging

Main message: Repentance is recognizing you're in a pit of sin and stopping the behavior that makes it worse. Act early—don't keep digging, because delay only deepens consequences and makes restoration harder.

Key points:

• Repentance = stop digging when you realize you're in a pit.
• Many people sink deeper by continuing sinful behavior after God warned them.
• Waiting until consequences are severe increases pain and difficulty.
• Delayed repentance multiplies the issues you must deal with (e.g., longer, harder prayer).
• The best strategy when you start sinking is to stop digging immediately.
