Thank you so much for your sweet family !!! Love that Michael is a Veteran . Thank you for great Leadership from you and your staff . I was watching all on TV Fox news . We in SC are always ready to give a helping hand to all !!! We as Church members are Brothers and Sisters in Christ . We all have been forgiven for our sins we were born into by asking for forgiveness for them by JESUS CHRIST our Savior . So I was very happy to see the Church in Charleston giving forgiveness to the young shooter and setting the example for the rest of the World to see. This young man is a sign of the times we are in now . Our leadership in Washington has done nothing but cause division of race and try to destroy America . Our Police have been attacked and beat down and shot by blacks and others and praised by Washington !!! We as Christians know we are to forgive and forget !!! Jesus has forgiven us and we have to forgive others even when we don't want to. We are all sinners saved by JESUS LOVE and Grace !!! So glad you are sticking to letting everyone morn and get over their grief and not making fast decisions while everyone is so upset. We got to turn america back to GOD !!! God created America and we must follow his word to be happy !!! We have to support Israel as GOD commanded us to do in his word !!! We need a strong Military and not worry about making others mad that we have a strong Military. After all we have defended everyone that has needed us . GOD expects us to protect our Freedoms he gave us. Our Veterans have given their lives for our Freedom !!! I am a Vietnam Veteran and know first hand about the VA back log on Claims and Hospital backlogs !!! We have to stop abortion !!! We have to support Man and woman as husband and wife. GOD is the one who demands this . God created this World we live in and set the rules . Adam and Eve was created to have kids and replenish the Earth. No two men or women can do this. We have taken GOD out of schools and let everyone who just strolls across the border complain and try to change our laws to suit them. We need to stick with GOD and his word the BIBLE . It is our road map. This World will not stand without GOD. We are all servants and slaves to each other. JESUS came as a suffering servant . Jesus left his Kingdom in Heaven and came here and had nothing while here but was a servant and slave to many. If you work for someone you are their servant or slave. If you are our leader you are a servant or slave to the people . So we all are in the same boat . We as Christians have to forgive this young shooter as you can see the very families doing now . We have been forgiven much and we also have to forgive much. The currant leadership in Washington is the blame for all the race division going on. Our police are here to protect us and can't be disrespected as they have been. They didn't cause the poverty we see and they have to deal with. They have problems at home and paid very little for the job they do. So thank you for you and your staff doing a great job . We all praying for you . But we all need to follow this Church in their example of forgiveness . We need more God and Jesus in all we do . Put god and prayer back in schools. Anyone offended needs to repent . Just want to add some some word on forgiveness . GOD BLESS Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary FORGIVENESS : JESUS SAID THIS : 18:21-35 Though we live wholly on mercy and forgiveness, we are backward to forgive the offences of our brethren. This parable shows how much provocation God has from his family on earth, and how untoward his servants are. There are three things in the parable: 1. The master's wonderful clemency. The debt of sin is so great, that we are not able to pay it. See here what every sin deserves; this is the wages of sin, to be sold as a slave. It is the folly of many who are under strong convictions of their sins, to fancy they can make God satisfaction for the wrong they have done him. 2. The servant's unreasonable severity toward his fellow-servant, notwithstanding his lord's clemency toward him. Not that we may make light of wronging our neighbor, for that is also a sin against God; but we should not aggravate our neighbor's wronging us, nor study revenge. Let our complaints, both of the wickedness of the wicked, and of the afflictions of the afflicted, be brought to God, and left with him. 3. The master reproved his servant's cruelty. The greatness of sin magnifies the riches of pardoning mercy; and the comfortable sense of pardoning mercy, does much to dispose our hearts to forgive our brethren. We are not to suppose that God actually forgives men, and afterwards reckons their guilt to them to condemn them; but this latter part of the parable shows the false conclusions many draw as to their sins being pardoned, though their after-conduct shows that they never entered into the spirit, or experienced the sanctifying grace of the gospel. We do not forgive our offending brother aright, if we do not forgive from the heart. Yet this is not enough; we must seek the welfare even of those who offend us. How justly will those be condemned, who, though they bear the Christian name, persist in unmerciful treatment of their brethren! The humbled sinner relies only on free, abounding mercy, through the ransom of the death of Christ. Let us seek more and more for the renewing grace of God, to teach us to forgive others as we hope for forgiveness from him. Like · Comment · Share Roger Strickl
