David Remained a Man After God’s Own Heart (Except that time…)

By Devotional, Encouragement, Faith

In response to David being a man after God’s own heart, I’ve heard people say, “Yea, that that was said before the Bathsheba incident.” I’ve heard people write off his witness after that period of failure in David’s life.

I think he had a heart that desired to please and honor God even after the Bathsheba incident.

8 Reminders for Granting True Forgiveness

By Christians, Encouragement, Faith

As believers, we are called to offer forgiveness, because we first have been forgiven. Whenever I talk about forgiveness, however, grudges, hurts and past pains seem to surface in people’s lives. I will get emails, Facebook and Twitter direct messages confessing to scars and wounds being opened. In fact, the reaction to the topic of forgiveness is so tender for many, that it draws me to address the issue frequently.
