Forgiving others who have hurt you can be tough. But the alternative can be destructive to the one unwilling to to forgive. Jesus is our example of forgiveness. He was insulted, lied about, spit upon, scourged, placed on a cross, and He still forgave. Don’t let past hurts keep you from experiencing God’s best plan for you even, at the moment, it may feel unfair. Tonya is The Harbor Church Amen Whole-4 Ambassador. This was a clip from a talk she gave on forgiveness in The Harbor Celebrate Recovery program led by Digger DiGiovanni.

The Bible is an equal opportunity offender. Sometimes I get offended by what God is cimmanding me to do. God tells us to forgive, speak the truth (no people pleasing and codependency), and love and pray for those who don’t like you. That’s tough and sometimes I’ve struggled to obey Him. But, then, I remember, He is in charge, and I follow His will rather mine. So when the Bible speaks about life, marriage, sex, and gender many get offended about those subjects. And Others say, preach it! But when we talk about what the Bible says about money, material possessions, tithing (Malachi 3:6-12), and giving (2 Corinthians 9:6-7) many people in the church will get offended. But if we believe God is God, then we need to learn to get over our offended positions and obey Him (John 14:15). Food for thought: Did you know that Bible speaks about money and material possessions in over 2,300 verses? Did you know that 16 of the 38 parables speak about money and material possessions? #bible #scripture #money #christianity #truth

Who are we? Imperfect people seeking our perfect God. We are on a journey learning to love fully (Matthew 22:37-40) and live authentically (Matthew 28:19-20) with God and others. Psalm 107:30 “They rejoiced (we rejoice) when the waves grew quiet (we overcome). Then He guided them (we follow) to the harbor they longed for (we become).” Tim’s song says it all! Listen to the lyrics. You’ll get it. Hope to see you this Sunday! #christianity #bible #music #encouragement #discipleship @djtimjrich @marpienias @tonyatowner @davidbtowner @femaiville
