The blood of Christ covers all of our sins, but each of us must do personal business with God in order to experience his forgiveness.

As I read the New Testament, I find only one path to salvation - the path of an informed faith in Jesus Christ.

Our history is an inevitable component of our being. One thing only can release us from the grip of our history. That one thing is forgiveness.

In a sinful world, no community can exist for long where nobody is ever held accountable: no teacher would grade a student's performance; no citizen would sit on a jury or call a failed leader to account.

It takes one person to forgive, it takes two people to be reunited.

You will know that forgiveness has begun when you recall those who hurt you and feel the power to wish them well.

Forgiving does not erase the bitter past. A healed memory is not a deleted memory. Instead, forgiving what we cannot forget creates a new way to remember. We change the memory of our past into a hope for our future.

To forgive is to set a prisoner free and discover that the prisoner was you.
