    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.

    One of the secret sins believers can be easily guilty of is being unwilling to forgive which leads to bitterness. 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

    As believers, we are called to live out our faith in practical ways, reflecting the character of Christ. In Colossians 3:12-13, the apostle Paul provides valuable guidance on how to exhibit Christian virtues such as compassion, kindness, and forgiveness.

    Point 1: Clothe Yourself with Compassion Cross-Reference: Ephesians 4:32 Compassion lies at the heart of the Christian ethic.

    From Debtor To Servant: The Transformative Journey Of Forgiveness

    Contributed by Christian Jones on Jun 19, 2023

    Today, let’s look at the powerful words of Jesus found in Matthew 18:23-35, where He shares the Parable of the Unforgiving Servant. This parable holds immense relevance for us today, as it reveals profound truths about forgiveness, mercy, and the consequences of harboring an unforgiving spirit.

    1. God's Unlimited Mercy: In the parable, we encounter a servant who owes an enormous debt to his king. Despite the servant's inability to repay, the king, moved by compassion, forgives the debt entirely. This act highlights God's boundless mercy toward us. As Psalm 103:10-12 states, ...read more
