Sorry, Not Sorry

Sorry, Not Sorry

I recently saw some advice shared online that had to do with how to forgive when you don't get the apology you deserve. It offered advice like; hold on to your truth, honor your pain and your feelings, reclaim your power with certain actions, don't let the other party invalidate your feelings, and forgiveness is ultimately about regaining control over your life. "That's not the advice we need. What does God say about apologies and forgiveness?  We need an apologetic on apologies. How do we know when we are owed an apology? How do we know when we ought to apologize? How should we apologize? How should we accept an apology and forgive someone? What does it look like to be "sorry" and what does it look like to be "forgiving"? By what standard? Join Hilary and Nate as we discuss apologies and forgiveness, from a Biblical worldview. Listen to MacArthur's Philemon series here: https://www.gty.org/library/resources/sermons-library/scripture/1?book=57&chapter=0 The five points of "How to forgive when you don't get the apology you deserve" alluded to in this episode are: Hold onto your truth: you don't need the apology to validate your feelings or the situation. Don't try to suppress or say "Its okay" when its not. Recognize and honor your hurt and pain. Figure out what boundaries you need to put up and enforce. Part of reclaiming your power is how you decide to spend your time, energy, and space. Don't let them gaslight you into thinking it's your fault, or that you are too sensitive. Your feelings are valid. Remember: forgiving them doesn't depend on their apology, and it doesn't excuse their behavior. Forgiving means their actions don't control your emotions, mental health, and happiness level. Music from Pixabay. Logo by Hilary Saunders.

Most Christians Aren't Christians

Is everyone who calls themselves a Christian, actually a Christian? Are all Christians what they claim, just because they say so? Have you ever thought that Christians are hypocrites, live double lives, or hold different or contrasting beliefs from each other? There's a cause for that. Its because most Christians, actually are not Christians. Jesus warns the crowds who followed Him that most who will claim to be Christians, in fact are not Christians. Let's humbly take a look at these warnings in God's Word and see what they have to teach us. Music from Pixabay. Logo design by Hilary Saunders.

Holy Spirit, Activate?

What is the Holy Spirit? What is His purpose? A power? Personal? Mysticism? Feeling? Voice? There are many questions surrounding this third member of the Triune God. There's also a lot of confusion that exists. Is God asleep? Is He far away? Is He busy? Is He "off"? What is it that we think we need to do to "activate" Him? Join hosts, Hilary, Taylor, and Nate as we confront false ideas about the Holy Spirit and discuss what God teaches about the Holy Spirit in His Word. Music from Pixabay.
