August 12, 2021

When people hurt us, our sinful instinct is to hurt them back. But on today's edition of Family Talk, the late Dr. Arch Hart says, "Forgiveness is giving up my right to hurt you for hurting me." The former dean of the School of Psychology at Fuller Theological Seminary warns that if we don't forgive, we foolishly allow resentment to fester.

Christian parents instinctively know that they're in a battle with Satan himself for the souls of their children. But the parents of strong-willed children grapple with that spiritual reality more dramatically.
