Building on our previous conversation about forgiveness, can you still want punishment and still have forgiven someone? As hard as it is to not dwell on certain acts it can be even harder not to hold a grudge. Let’s look at scripture and a few examples of how David handled trials to see what we can learn and use in our own lives.

Scripture References: Matthew 5:38-48, Romans 12:15-21, 2 Samuel 16:5-14, 2 Samuel 18:33, 1 Samuel 24, Psalm 69, Matthew 6:14-15, Ephesians 4:26-32, Acts 15:36-41, 2 Timothy 4:11, Matthew 7:1-2, Matthew 18:21-35

An absolutely vital topic but one that is difficult to understand. Yes we know we should forgive people, but how do we know if we have really forgiven them? The phrase forgive and forget can often complicate matters - so, what advice does the Bible have on this topic?

Scripture References: Matthew 6:14-15, Jeremiah 31:31-34, Leviticus 4:13, Leviticus 4:22, Leviticus 4:27, Luke 23:34, Luke 17:3-4, Ephesians 4:26-32, Matthew 5:43-45

First, CWD is going to take a short break in the month of May. We will be sharing some of our older conversations that haven’t yet been released in our podcast. Appropriately enough, one of those discussions from October 18, 2018, is on fasting! Fasting is in the Bible. Jesus fasted. Jesus taught about fasting. Why don’t we talk about it or do it more often? Let’s look at why fasting is important and how it was used and maybe that will help us put it into practice.

You are teaching a Bible class or quoting scripture to a friend and you say “Jesus said in Matthew 5…” Wait, should you have said, “Jesus says?” Were you implying the words of Jesus are only historical sayings? How does any of that relate to the passage in Hebrews 4:12? It’s always fun to see how a simple thought or question really can enhance our appreciation of God and his Word when we look into it a bit deeper.

It's been a few weeks and my weekly plans are a lot different. That makes me all the more thankful for moments when God's word and the songs I love to sing come together in unexpected ways.

Have you ever prayed for God’s guidance in a situation and followed through, only to find that the outcome is much worse than what you expected? Was that Satan stealing the prayer or pushing you toward the wrong choice? This was a great question that led to more discussion on free will, God’s plan, and how the spirit is at work within the individual. Please, follow along with Dan and Jed and reach out with any further questions or comments you have.
