    Bitterness is a weed whose root is unforgiveness. Whether it's from a bitter breakup, divorce, rejection, abandonment, or whatever, if we refuse to forgive in those situations, bitterness takes hold of our lives. And where there is bitterness, there can be no love and no peace.

Even though it is often assumed to be more acceptable, unforgiveness is no less an offense to God than any other sin. It is the failure to deal with forgiveness that produces ...read more

     | 420 views

    The church as an agent of moral and spiritual transformation is becoming lukewarm. Hard and bitter truths are no longer preached in many churches. The church must wake up and once again shake the world like the days of the Apostles.
