Humble O Radio Episode 11 Forgiveness
My wife Trina and I have been married nearly 20 years and of course each one has been a cakewalk…like every other marriage or relationship, right?It doesn’t matter if you’re an Atheist, Christian, Muslim or Oompa Lompa, if you can’t figure out how to forgive, you are destined to have a very miserable and lonely life.
Without allowing your self to forgive little things will become huge issues and ultimately that only hurts you.
- So forgive the guy who cuts you off in traffic.
- Forgive the person who screwed you over in that business deal.
- Forgive the spouse who takes you for granted…but what does that forgiveness look like?
Does it mean you let people walk all over you?
Not all…and we’ll talk about all of this tonight on Humble O Radio.
Prayer reminder…
- The miners who are trapped HUNTINGTON, Utah mine, we also want to pray for their families, coworkers, all of those involved in the search and the folks who run the company they work for.
- The South Korean hostages in Afghanistan who have been held now for more than three weeks…two of the hostages were set free earlier this week after the South Korean Government held face to face negotiations with the Taliban.
- Remember the family, friends and other witnesses at the Micronesian church in Missouri who witnessed the horrific murder of three of the elders on Sunday during a service…details as to why are unclear but we should also pray for the man who did the shooting and his family as well.

Bible quotes on Forgiveness
Jud 1:3 Dearly loved friends, I had been eagerly planning to write to you about the salvation we all share. But now I find that I must write about something else, urging you to defend the truth of the Good News.[fn1] God gave this unchanging truth once for all time to his holy people.
Jud 1:4 I say this because some godless people have wormed their way in among you, saying that God’s forgiveness allows us to live immoral lives. The fate of such people was determined long ago, for they have turned against our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ.
Jud 1:5 I must remind you-and you know it well-that even though the Lord[fn2] rescued the whole nation of Israel from Egypt, he later destroyed every one of those who did not remain faithful.
Jud 1:6 And I remind you of the angels who did not stay within the limits of authority God gave them but left the place where they belonged. God has kept them chained in prisons of darkness, waiting for the day of judgment.
Jud 1:7 And don’t forget the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah and their neighboring towns, which were filled with sexual immorality and every kind of sexual perversion. Those cities were destroyed by fire and are a warning of the eternal fire that will punish all who are evil.
Rom 6:1 Well then, should we keep on sinning so that God can show us more and more kindness and forgiveness?
Rom 6:2 Of course not! Since we have died to sin, how can we continue to live in it?
Rom 6:3 Or have you forgotten that when we became Christians and were baptized to become one with Christ Jesus, we died with him?
Luk 17:3 I am warning you! If another believer[fn1] sins, rebuke him; then if he repents, forgive him.
Luk 17:4 Even if he wrongs you seven times a day and each time turns again and asks forgiveness, forgive him.”
