Marriage is an excellent example of unforgiveness in closing a relationship. When a person enters marriage, he or she must leave single life and family. If a man takes his single ways into marriage, he will ruin the marriage. When two people marry, they go their parents and cleave to one another. By taking their parents into a relationship that primarily is for two, and they will end up with their parents and her parents, and try to make a marriage with four people too many.

Spouses who do not forgive their parents eventually find their unforgiveness spoiling their new union. And those whose in-laws are unforgiving will find hardship in relation to their new spouse.

The spirit of unforgiveness is communicated from one person’s spirit to others and closes them off. Holding grudges and letting prejudices spoil intimacy is no way to live. It doesn’t matter whether it’s a wife, husband, child, in-law, friend, neighbor, boss, employee, colleague, father, mother, doctor, or pastor, an unforgiving spirit will close others off and, by doing so, close off part of a person’s life

Experiencing a victory during a crisis is great, but abiding in Christ continually is greater. Unfortunately, many people cannot accept this and remain as spiritual “babes,” needing the “milk” of the Word but not taking the “meat.” They may continually sin, run to the church altar to pray and repent, and then go out to sin again. Far better to learn how to abide in Christ, letting the Spirit of God lead us through each day, away from evil, and into His perfect will for our lives, our “Promised Land” of Abundant Life.

Don’t vindicate yourself; let your new life be your vindication. Don’t be someone else’s scapegoat. If you are blamed for something that is not your fault, take it to the Lord. He will vindicate you. Truth will always win out. God will bring it to light

Happy New Year, and welcome to 2025!

As we enter this new year, I am filled with anticipation for all that God will do in our lives, church, and community. The turning of the calendar is more than just a change of numbers—it’s an opportunity to reflect on God’s faithfulness and trust in His continued guidance as we move forward.

His love has never failed us, and His promises remain sure. As we face the unknowns of this new year, we can have confidence in knowing that He will continue to lead us with grace and mercy.
