The Red Letter Challenge: Forgiving

The week of forgiveness in the Red Letter Challenge starts with this message. Before we can be truly forgiving of others, we must learn to forgive ourselves and fully accept God's grace. We, who live in a land of rugged individualists and self-made women and men, find it hard to admit to powerlessness in any situation. Grit and determination, money and influence, and social standing cannot help you with everything. There’s a ton of crud under the cushions of the couch (join us in worship to find out what that means). The LORD knows every little thing about you, even the number of hairs on your head, no matter how carefully you’ve crafted your reputation and image. He alone can cleanse and renew you. In fact, the LORD can’t sit on that couch until He does so!
