Comment on I’m glad some justice exists by Lily Danielsen

Hi Kerry, Just a note to say hope all is going well for you and Jan and to make a little comment on your essays. I am getting a great deal from them and want to thank you for taking the time to put your thoughts down and sharing them. (Once a journalist, always a …..) but good on you. I thought this Judgement one was very good as well as the Trespassers article. I have not read them all, but am getting around to it. The things you mention should be so commonplace for Christians but we remember how Paul had to keep at all the folks in the various churches to remain faithful and firm in their beliefs and to remind them to live what they believed. Twas ever thus…so keep at your flock for we need it!
Remember to give us a call when both of you are heading this way and Ed and I look forward to being at St. Andrew’s sometime very soon. with love and blessings, Lily

Jesus said : Love one another as I have loved you. The first three words are often repeated, but a relationship with God is contain in the last five.

Comment on Why is forgiveness so hard? by Dennis

Dennis — Sat, 04 Feb 2012 01:41:26 +0000

I agree with forgiveness, and we need to forgive those who have wronged us in some way. But what about repentance? Is holding on to the sin of anger and bitterness something we need to be repentant of? Should we not be sorry for this sin of holding a grudge, and anger in our hearts. If we are only looking to the otherside or person, and not at our part, we will not be truely freed or given peace. Chirst is looking for a heart of repentence in us.
“Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord,” Acts 3:19
If we repented when Christ called us unto Him, but pridefully hold on to bitterness now, how can God bless that? We are called to repent.
Isaiah 1:16
Wash yourselves, make yourselves clean;
Remove the evil of your deeds from My sight.
Cease to do evil,
17Learn to do good;
Seek justice,
Reprove the ruthless,
Defend the orphan,
Plead for the widow.
18“Come now, and let us reason together,”
Says the LORD,
“Though your sins are as scarlet,
They will be as white as snow;
Though they are red like crimson,
They will be like wool.

Comment on When there are no easy answers by Sandra Kroek

When we lost our son all I could hang onto was ‘My grace is sufficient for you, my strength made perfect in weakness.” Those words became real for me at a time when the ‘whys’ could have overwhelmed us.
