Forgiveness does not mean condoning what has been done. It means taking what happened seriously...drawing out the sting in the memory that threatens our entire existence.

I have a lot of time for young people.

Forgiveness says you are given another chance to make a new beginning.

Most of the leading figures of the Old Testament were polygamists. Abraham had several wives and concubines. If they wanted, they could say this was approved in the Bible.

An abusive relationship should be easy to identify though often one of the most difficult to end.

The moment our dignity is undermined, we get up in arms and want to see our dignity restored - especially if we are humiliated.

We must not only speak about forgiveness and reconciliation, we must act on these principles.
