Are we to "forgive, forget, and move on?" Then why does that feel so wrong? Scripture tells us, “Be kind and tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God has forgiven you in Christ.” That means that God has established the method and the protocols for forgiveness and that we are to know and follow those. So, how has God forgiven us in Christ? What is it we are to emulate? In this booklet, we see that God’s approach to forgiveness and what He expects of us as we learn to extend forgiveness to others is not the “forgive, forget, and move on” theology many of us have been taught...

A Discordant String in God’s Harp investigates Satan’s attempts to disrupt or harm God’s people and God’s church in modern day times. This is not an exhaustive study, but I do try to pinpoint how church members who lack money, power, and social influence can be cut off from church leadership by Flatters who have more influence in church operations and in church dealings with the community. Besides talking about the poor, I also discuss in much more detail the various influences and disruptions mental illness can have on Christians.
