Someone asked me at church “hey man, when we forgive people, should we just put ourselves in harms way again, so they can keep hurting us? Does Jesus really expect me to keep getting hurt”?

This is a post by guest blogger: John Krainis

Romans 14
3 Let not the one who eats despise the one who abstains, and let not the one who abstains pass judgment on the one who eats, for God my church has not welcomed him. 4 Who are you to pass judgment on the servant of another, oh that is right you are now the judge? It is [...]
