All Apologies (1)

Good morning friends. We all know that most of the people are getting hard to ask for apologies, even if they are the one who commits a mistakes. Sometimes they justify the wrong they did. Why they did that. It’s the best thing to do that we accept our mistake and ask for apology to the person whom we commit one. That’s Godly act.

One sincere apology is worth more than a dozen roses. How many friendships have been lost because of failure to apologize. We all make mistakes. That is expected as we go on in our daily lives. What is also expected is an apology when we mess up things. Yet, it is surprising to find that people who offend most are in the habit of not apologizing.

I see it all the time in my counseling. Here is a womanizer who is doing his thing. He gets caught by the wife and denies it. And keeps denying it until she presents him with clear proof of his affair. When he has no more defense, he is quick to say “sorry.” It’s an apology, but it isn’t sincere and only adds insult to injury. It doesn’t even come across to her as an apology precisely because it isn’t honest.

And a dishonest apology spoken only for form’s sake is worst than no apology. But, you might ask, what more can the guy say? Well, perhaps he shouldn’t say anything until he has made up his mind to do something about it. Then an apology, a sincere apology is in order. –Bob Garon.

The Narrow Way (1)

ON EITHER SIDE of the narrow way of righteous business lies a trap based on wrong thinking about money. The first trap is the failure to achieve business success, (and then camouflaging that failure by calling it “ministry”). The second is to pursue business success at the expense of Biblical principles and personal spiritual growth. Often, the root of both mistakes is the sin of covetousness. This sin is found when our hearts are focused more on the pursuit of money than on the call of God.

On the one hand, denial of covetousness and failure to deal with it as sin can prevent the believer from breaking fleshly bondage to greed. In the end, deliberately yielding to the spirit of greed destroys the believer’s conscience, witness, and ultimately his effectiveness in the marketplace. Freedom from greed protects a believing businessperson from “walking in the counsel of the ungodly, standing in the path of sinners or sitting in the seat of the scornful.” (PSALM 1.1) the blessing of the Lord will be the result. The first _Psalm goes on to promise that whatever such a person does will prosper. A blessed businessperson is not striving in the flesh, making costly mistakes and breaking valuable relationships. He or she may therefore prosper in business through simple perseverance and faithfulness.
