What Forgiveness is NOT

What is forgiveness… really? And what if most of us have been getting it wrong?

In today’s teaching, we define forgiveness in a clear and powerful way: replacing ill will with goodwill. But that raises big questions—Does forgiveness excuse wrongdoing? Does it ignore justice? Should we forgive everything?

Drawing from Scripture, real-world examples, and the work of Everett Worthington, this message untangles the confusion and reveals a deeper, stronger, more honest vision of forgiveness.
Because forgiveness isn’t pretending something didn’t matter it’s choosing a different kind of response.
