Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving!

As Americans we have much to be thankful for and we are on the cusp of a great restoration. Thanksgiving is a great time to reflect and give thanks to God for all of our blessings.

How to Forgive Cruel People

(Watch 8-minute excerpt) At church, Jesse talked about evil he saw in people, but he has compassion on those driven by it. One woman said she suffered sexual abuse as a child and does not forgive. She will not pray consistently. One young man was raped by his stepfather as a young boy, and his mother became cruel toward him. Jesse said she cannot help herself. The young man asked how to forgive her. He had an affair with his father’s wife, but his father forgave him.

AN INMATE'S POWERFUL STORY OF FORGIVENESS

I recently talked to several audiences in northern California on my “Rebuilding the Man Tour.” God was with us. (Thank you to Madera County Supervisor Rick Farinelli and his staff for making the events possible.) At a juvenile detention center, I spoke with boys who went through hell at home – most raised without fathers by drug-addicted mothers, all starved for their fathers’ love. Children need their parents – good parents – like adults need God. I spoke at Valley State Prison to about 150 inmates, a number serving life for murder.
