Cultural Barriers to Confessing Sin in Asian American Churches

Journal of Biblical Counseling 37:2

Pastor Tony Lin offers a firsthand perspective on how Confucian values influence the lives of Asian Christians in ways that run counter to some biblical principles. Specifically, he addresses the high value placed on avoiding shame and how it can conflict with the biblical command to confess our sins to each other. Lin shows us the need to think biblically about cultural norms in a way that is sure to challenge believers from every culture.
