Love Means Always Having to Say You’re Sorry

Quick Thought – Saturday, May 30, 2026: Love the Unlovable

Quick Thought – Monday, May 25, 2026: There Is No Condemnation

Quick Thought – Thursday, May 21, 2026: Small Sins, Same Separation
Romans 5 reminds us that comparison cannot save us. We may sort sins by earthly consequences, but every sin reveals the same deeper problem: separation from God. Through Adam came sin and death, but through Christ came grace, forgiveness and life. Continue reading

Quick Thought – Thursday, May 14, 2026: Seventy Times Seven
Forgiveness is easy to admire until we are the ones being asked to forgive.
In Matthew 18, Jesus tells the story of a servant forgiven an impossible debt who then refuses to show mercy over a small one.
“Seventy Times Seven” is a reminder that people who have received mercy are called to show mercy. Continue reading
