How Many Times Do You Have to Forgive Someone?

This clip is taken from the sermon "How to Fight to the Glory of God," preached by Pastor Mark Driscoll at the Mars Hill Church Ballard campus in Seattle, Washington, on March 27th, 2011. It is the 69th sermon in our sermon series on the Gospel of Luke.

@68grace Anonymity understood. One reason it's easier (& Mark might back me up on this based on his own comments) is because without real people there who can see you and see through one's self-deception, e-mail allows us to get stroked without the accountability of facing our "advisor." We need real people there. Also, e-mail allows us to get away with not telling the whole story of our heart's motives, unlike a person there who can walk with you. I hope it goes well. Don't procrastinate!

@Habakkuk2v20 thank you, i will, but it sometimes seems easier to get email advice anonymously.

[Habakkuk2v20]

@68grace Start with your local church. Mars Hill Church Seattle had other people besides Mark who are also capable if you need to e-mail in. I've never tried. Definitely start with your local church.

@TheOnetruth777 I pray for your soul that one day you are given the opportunity to know that Jesus is the son of our Heavenly Father... and I hope its not too late for you. Bless your soul

lovingly pursue, lovingly rebuke.

that's a good principle, but i'm struggling with it in my situation.

the person who i can't forgive is my ex-husband.

he abandoned me and our kids for another family- who he is still with.

i wish i could speak to mark driscoll, ask him what he would advise me?

[TheOnetruth777]

You Can't Even Prove Either? You should really Think that out my Friend.......One Day you will Know the truth . I just Pray it's not to late for you.

@TheOnetruth777 The burden of proof does not lie with me to prove a negative. Haven't you ever heard of Russell's teapot or the Flying Spaghetti Monster? Even if Jesus existed (no conclusive proof), even if he was born to a virgin mother (impossible in humans) all of your work to prove his claims is still ahead of you. The bible is a see through fable and the world would be a better place off without its zealots telling us they know what god wants.

@CadburyGorilla Prove this Isn;t a GOD!~ There Is Proof that Jesus walked the Earth. NOW Here Is the Best I don't Believe you Exist!

[CadburyGorilla]

@lifesglorydead Unfortunately people actually believe that. Their claims are unfalsifiable, no matter what evidence they are presented with they claim 'God must have been smarter than we thought!'. Being unfalsifiable is evidence of an arguments weakness, not strength. There is no evidence for a creator, not even one shred of evidence. I can see why people want to believe in a god where they can live forever, but there is no evidence for it and most probably never will be.
