Forgiveness (Part 2)

Hi, this is Dave Scherrerrer, and the last time we were together here at Kingdom Offerings, the podcast ministry of 100 Fold Ministries, we took on a difficult subject, and that was the discipline of forgiveness. And I'm not sure everybody thinks of forgiveness as a discipline. I call it a discipline in that we can improve in our heart attitude of forgiveness through disciplined practice. Like all of the Kingdom disciplines that we've been talking about these last few weeks, the more we practice these character traits, character traits like generosity, prayerfulness, fasting, gratitude, the more we practice them, the better, or I should say, the more authentically we represent our Lord in His Kingdom purposes on earth today, now.

So let's get some doctrine straight before we turn our attention to how we might better actually be forgiving. So let's let's dive in. The word used most often in the Gospels and the New Testament letters is aphasis. It means to release as from a debt.
