If there is a subject more misunderstood than forgiveness, I’d like to know what it is. It can be confusing. However, ...read more

Sin, Stones, And Forgiveness

Contributed by James Chandler on Jan 11, 2007

It is not a question of IF we have sin in our lives, but how we deal with sin in our lives. In John 8, we see how Jesus helped an adulterous woman deal with the sin in her life, and he will do the same for you and me.

Can you imagine being in Time’s Square in New York City, and there on the jumbo-tron screen was every sin you have ever committed being displayed for all to see? How horrible would that be? How humiliating would that be? We all know we have sin in our life, we just don’t want everyone else to ...read more
