恶人一出母胎，就与神疏远；一离母腹，便走错路，说谎话（诗：58：3）

【恶人一出母胎，就与神疏远；一离母腹，便走错路，说谎话。】（诗：58：3）

《诗篇》经常提到的几个词，都有特定的意思。如：一、【义人】是指敬畏神、遵行律法、远离恶事的人；二、【罪人】是指所有犯罪、不信神的人；三、【恶人】是指所有不信、反对神、犯罪作恶、为非作歹的人。大卫在此提到恶人一出母腹就远离神、走错路，可见父母敬畏神是何等的要紧！

大卫的父亲耶西是敬畏神的人，他的祖父俄备得是波阿斯和路得的儿子，都是敬畏神的。整个家族对大卫的影响实在深远，所有他从小就爱神和神的话，正如他说：【我在母怀里，你就使我有倚靠的心。】（诗：22：9节）

《圣经》又让我们看见，先知撒母耳的信心是受母亲哈拿的影响，因此他愿意从小就远离父母，居住在耶和华的会幕中。提摩太从小明白《圣经》，对神有信心，乃因他的母亲友尼基和祖母罗以的影响（提后：1：5）。相反的，以色列王亚哈大大行恶，他的儿子效法他一味行恶，直到惹来神忿怒的审判。

弟兄姊妹们，我们应该敬虔爱主，叫我们的下一代也受影响同来爱主。自婴儿在母腹中，父母就当常为此代祷，直到他们一生在基督里成长，被主得着。这样一代影响一代的事奉主，多有福啊！

Subject: "Should I Forgive A Brother Who Won't Repent?" Speaker: Don Blackwell Scripture: Luke 17:1-3 Website: https://www.willowcofc.net/ Willow Avenue Church of Christ Video: https://www.youtube.com/live/G0CwQfl3YMo?si=Y5PyqjXAxuOiTVX8 Then Peter came to Jesus, and he said, Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me and I forgive him.  Up to seven times? Jesus said to him, I do not say to you up to seven times, but up to 70 times seven.  (Mt 18:21-22). Brethren, I want to suggest to you this morning that questions about forgiving a brother who has sinned against you is not a new thing. They existed even when the Lord was on this earth. And they are troubling enough that one of the apostles felt the need to come and ask Jesus directly about it. How frequently should I forgive my brother? I mean, my patience runs out sometimes. I mean, sometimes enough is enough. Where do I draw the line? Peter said, is seven times enough? You know, I've got the idea that Peter...

Together: Forgive One Another

From:  Brent Kercheville - West Palm Beach church of Christ False Understanding of Forgiveness In our culture, forgiveness is a unilateral internal effort to get my own emotions under control. It is a therapeutic view of forgiveness. Forgiveness is about me. We see this in the way the word “forgiveness” is used. For example, we will hear people say that you need to forgive yourself. This does not make sense using the word biblically. The scriptures never say to forgive yourself. But what people mean about forgiving yourself is this unilateral internal effort to get your own emotions under control and move yourself to some sort of happy place. This is not a biblical view but you can see why there is confusion when we discuss forgiveness from a biblical basis.  Another example of this misunderstanding of forgiveness is that you will hear people say that they have forgiven God or cannot forgive God. This is also nonsensical and ultimately blasphemous since God cannot do wrong and...
