When you put your faith in Jesus Christ for salvation from the consequences of sin, God becomes your Heavenly Father.  As if that weren’t enough, He throws in brothers and sisters to boot, a ready-made family with eternal ties.  However, membership in God’s family is a privilege that comes with responsibility.

Offering forgiveness to others is one of the most challenging, but life-giving aspects of the Christian faith. In forgiving we find healing for our own hearts.
