How good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in, in unity, and to worship God, to lift up our hearts to Him in praise and in thanksgiving, and then, as it were to fall silent and to listen to Him, we worship Him as we listen to Him. And in that effort, let me invite you to turn in your Bibles to James chapter 5 for a time of study in God's word, where we will allow God to speak to us this morning, James. Chapter 5. We have been in recent weeks talking.
about the subject of forgiveness, giving forgiveness to those who have, have wronged us, and we have looked at the process of forgiveness, the four steps of forgiveness, and we completed that 2 weeks ago, and then Carlos Cuellart last week, topped it off with his message on love and loving one another. What I want to do this morning is essentially just take one Sunday today to put the shoe on the other foot and to talk about those situations in which we are the ones who have committed the wrong and it's the people in our lives around us who are having to make the decision about whether or not to forgive us of the wrong that we have done. And the question that we'll try to address this morning is what do we do? What do we do to, when we've wronged somebody else to make their path of forgiving us simpler and easier?
And there's probably a list of things that we could say that we would do, but one of those things is what we would call apologizing. And that's what we'll talk about. this morning, if you want to give a title to the message, it would be the Ministry of Apology, the Ministry of Apology. How many of you just this past week have delivered an apology to somebody else?
Raise your hand. OK. How many of you should have but didn't? OK, good, good....
