    The Blessings Of Forgiveness Series

    Contributed by Christian Cheong on Jun 22, 2004

    Jesus teaches us to forgive. This is important because (1) forgiveness releases us from bondage, (2) gives us the freedom to grow, and (3) leaves room for God’s work.

We are forgiven because of Christ. We forgive because we have been forgiven. So what does these verses mean? ...read more

    The desire to take revenge is not necessarily sinful, but we must not take our own revenge. Government may do so, but if it fails, ultimately God will take revenge.

    Forgiveness is Conditional, Part 3: When The Offender Won’t Repent Thus far in our series, we have tried to answer the following questions: (1) Do I have to forgive someone who has not repented? The answer I gave was, "no." God does not forgive those who will not repent, and He is our ...read more

    God calls us to forgive.

    Christianity has often been referred to as a crutch for the week. Have you ever heard that. I have a lot of problems with that statement.
