Thanks for sharing this, Christa. I’ve been wondering a lot about this topic lately (and I, too, am eager to hear your answer to Kelly’s question). I signed up for the workshop on biblical conflict resolution at WDW. This is really something I want to learn more about. Thanks for sharing about your time at the conference this weekend! I’ll definitely check back to see what else you learned. I love that you are always so eager to share what you are learning…

Great question, Kelly. Dr. Street talked a lot about that and it would be worth a post of it’s own. I’ll get that up sometime next week!

Hey Christa! Kelly brings up a great point. I have puzzled about that issue and would love to see your notes on that as well.

Hey Christa ~ Sounds like a great seminar. I would be interested in getting your notes or hearing how the subject was addressed in regards to forgiving those who never acknowledge their sin or forgiving those who may never ask for forgiveness — how that should look in the “pie of reconcilation.” Thanks for the post.

I love the point, “We forgive TO forget.” This is SUCH an important topic, and I really enjoyed reading your post. I aim to do this better, for I have been forgiven MUCH! Thanks, Christa!

When I refuse to forgive, I am forgetting the measure of grace the Lord has poured out on my behalf and ultimately despising the cross…may I forgive as I have been forgiven!
