Forgiveness

So, we read about Forgiveness today: If you follow the link about Peter Robinson and his wife, this is a sad affair, but nevertheless an example to all of us that teaches us about repentance and forgiveness. for we are all guilty of sin and can ONLY be redeemed by sincere repentance before Jesus. Pastor James McConnell is absolutely sound in his words to the press here. Doesn't it stir you, the reader, here, to think about your own sin. Veteran gay rights campaigner Peter Tatchell has described Iris Robinson as a "hypocrite" for having an affair. But can't Peter see that he, himself needs to repent of his own sin. Yes, me too! And grace is undeserved and scandulous - don't you like that? And do you, can you understand? And Jesus promises to help us, by His Holy Spirit to keep us on a road away from temptation, if we follow Him daily.

the pastor concludes to the press (follow link on title above)"We can only but pray for them and pray for them with great compassion as we would do for any sinner no matter what sin they have committed.

So is my word that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it."
