Our purpose is to provide links to useful resources, some commentary on topical or doctrinal issues, a place where anyone can come with questions and a means whereby we can share our faith. And above all, to grow and encourage each other. As Christians, we believe we bear God's image in this world, and seek to glorify God's name in this endeavour. Any Christian who wants to join with us is very welcome! |

Tuesday, March 01, 2005 Re ForgivenessCan relate to your sentiment Michele "didn't really feel like forgiving anyone" - boy, do we have days like that!!Especially enjoyed: Unforgiveness can cause all sorts of problems in a person, emotionally, spiritually and physically. She likened a deep hurt to a part of you dying - which is so true. Number 4 (depression), is a very critical time and a person needs great understanding. The worst thing to say to a person who is undergoing depression is to say "Just trust Jesus " etc. And some of those Christian platitudes - God-speak, the "saintly language" are rather inane when you think about them, and often just mindlessly mouthed to get the speaker off the hook (so they can get onto an interesting topic - for them). "Travel mercies" is another that grates with me, everytime. I believe a good friend will listen without judgement, and without trying to 'solve' the problem. A good friend will let you say whatever, and not think you are any less 'spiritual'. A good friend will keep your confidences and not, so call, - share - in the church prayer group as a matter of prayer. (Anyone ever experienced that?) You know the saying - "A good friend knows the worst about you but loves you just the same" I disagree! I believe that a good friend knows the worst about you and loves you even more. Thank God for good friends, many of mine being on this blog. # posted by geoff @ 3:07 pm 0 comments
