Fellow Acts 29 pastor Sam Storms offers these five myths:
- Contrary to what many have been led to believe, forgiveness is not forgetting.
- Forgiving someone does not mean you no longer feel the pain of their offense.
- Forgiving someone who has sinned against you doesn’t mean you cease longing for justice.
- Forgiveness does not mean you are to make it easy for the offender to hurt you again.
- Forgiveness is rarely a one-time, climactic event.
