    Many look at the concept and action of forgiveness in light of the negative connotation of the term the “F word!” They avoid saying it and doing it and feel for some mysterious reason that they are exempt from doing what Jesus described as being essential

Rom. 3:23 For ALL have sinned and come short of the glory of God All of us have transgressed God’s laws. All of us were on our way to eternal punishment, deserving our just reward… BUT ...read more

    To err is human, to forgive divine? Not if we are to believe what the Bible says on forgiving. Come and see the great release in our lives when we forgive like God forgives us.

    Introduction When we have been wronged in our own minds we feel a need to hold it against them, to want to get even, you harbor bitterness in your heart. After all I am a man and nobody disrespects me! Does this sound familiar? Does this sound right? Does this mean I am to let him off free? What ...read more

    Paul said in Gal 2.20 that the life he lived Christ lived in him. He was telling us that we are to allow the Holy Spirit to incarnate Jesus' life in us. Our life is not our own it was bought with a price. If Jesus is living in us then His life should b

    Forgiveness is not an option for the Christian, it is a command. There are good and bad consequences when we forgive, and when we fail to forgive.

    Jesus had just given some detailed instructions about how to deal with a person who does you wrong. In v18, He says that heaven will back the person up who follows these instructions. This brought a question to the disciples' minds, and as usually was the case, Peter was the spokesman for them, ...read more
