Are you watching the Lion? (3 of 3)

Or are you acting out of fear?

Then after an awful pause, the deep voice said, "Susan." Susan made no answer but the others thought she was crying. "You have listened to fears, child," said Aslan.

Are you watching the Lion? (2 of 3)

Or do you just want to get out of the woods?


"I've been far worse than you know I really believed it was him --he, I mean--yesterday. When he warned us not to go down to the fir wood. And I really believe it was him tonight, when you woke us up. I mean, deep down inside. Or I could have, if I'd let myself. But I just wanted to get out of the woods and--and--oh, I don't know. And what ever am I to say to him?" [ Susan later said to Lucy ]

Are you watching the Lion? (1 of 3)


Or are you focusing on the faults of others?
And so at last they got on the move. Lucy went first, biting her lip and trying not to say all the things she thought of saying to Susan. But she forgot them when she fixed her eyes on Aslan... The others had only Lucy's direction to guide them, for Aslan was not only invisible to them but silent as well.

Forgiveness

Jim Chapman
Jim Chapman of Rocky Mountain Family Council spoke yesterday at Southern Gables Church. He preached about forgiveness in the church from Colossians and Philemon.
Forgiveness was never intended to be a private affair between you and God. 
He asks the question:
Is our church characterized and known for forgiveness of each other within the church? Is this a forgiving place?

We need to be forgivers! Let's give each other a break.

Believers must forgive each other, even if the transgressor doesn't repent... There's no wiggle room... There's no cop-out room. Martin Luther said, "Forgive, for that is God's command." ...The context here never suggests conditional forgiveness on our part.
