What use is confession if nothing is a sin, you are not a sinner, and there are no consequences for sin?
To use a Biblical image, only the sick need a physician.
When we stop preaching sin and forgiveness, law and Gospel, then we give the people cause to ignore sin and avoid confession. There is no daily repentance and there is no desire to become the new people God has called us to be. It is a deadly circle...
