    Contributed by Troy Borst on Mar 5, 2025
     | 237 views

    The song we will focus on is the worst hymn that has ever been produced (IN MY OPINION). Why is this hymn the worst? This hymn is the worst because it teaches incorrect theology about Jesus Christ.

    Forgiveness- What Do We Carry And What Do We Let Go?

    Contributed by Simon Harrison on Apr 4, 2001
    based on 46 ratings
     | 2,966 views

    Forgiveness is not about accepting that something wrong is somehow right, or trying to forget it: a prayerful reflection on Matthew 18.

    Today I would like to say a few words about things in our lives that we carry and things that we let go. I find today’s Gospel reading one of the most challenging in the Bible. With any apology, Jesus talks quite bluntly about the forgiveness God offers to us, and the expectation God has of us, as ...read more
