Forgiveness

God hates sin.  But He also hates unforgiveness with an equal passion—and consequence!  There are brothers and sisters who are caught in sin that we need to correct, and we may have to escalate it to the point of cutting off fellowship with them.  But ultimately, the goal is reconciliation and restoration.  We want them to come to repentance and return to obedience to the Truth.  When they return, however, are we ready to forgive?  Especially when they've sinned against us?  Is there someone in our lives that we find it impossible to forgive?  God has a warning for us in this passage, one we've already heard in Matthew.  From Matthew 18:21-35.
