The power of forgiveness

One of the hardest manifestations of discipleship, I think, is facing our deepest hurts and truly forgiving those who inflicted them. There's a sermon on forgivenss this week at Warriors in Christ. In forgiving, 1warrior points out, Christians are finding freedom in their relationships with one another and with God:

People are choosing to release their captive and painful past -- and it's making all the difference in their lives. . . .They are disarming one of Satan's most deadly and deceptive weapons -- the trap of offense.

The sermon is practical, readable, and biblical. Good stuff.
