The Beauty and Blessing of Forgiveness (1)
by John MacArthur | Grace to You https://youtu.be/nU1x_fHyUwA If you will, open your New Testament and try to find Philemon.

We are to be conduits of blessing.
A generous man will prosper; he who refreshes others will himself be refreshed. (Proverbs 11:25) God is a giving and generous God. He longs for his children to be like him in this grace.

In your love I rest, not in the might of flashing sword
Safe from the trial of distressful battle, my fears depart

My prosperity comes by faith and…

Once you recognize it and join it, aligning your life to follow Jesus, it will keep you from getting sidetracked to your peril. You may from time to time accidently take an unwanted detour but you will know instantly by the power of the Spirit how to get back on the narrow track of grace.
Today’s lesson begins in Romans 8: 28 -30 as it reminds you of God’s power to orchestrate the entirety of life for your good when you love him and live according to his purpose-filled call upon your life. That call always is initiated by God as a call to repentance…
