SERIES: OUT OF WATER
In 1936, Albert Einstein wrote an essay in which he mentioned that we don’t know who it was that discovered water but we do know it wasn’t a fish. It’s a very simple but profound observation. Simply stated, that which we live among is invisible to us. This is especially true when it comes to self-defeating thinking and assumptions. We rarely think about our thinking but maybe we should. Could it be that the real reason we fail at new year’s resolutions is that we fail to address the bad thinking that led to the behavior in the first place? Listen to defeat the thinking that is defeating us.
PART 6 - Remedying Regret
When you can’t forgive yourself, it turns you into the kind of person who deals harshly with others. It’s really an attempt at self-punishment. Because if I treat others badly, they’ll treat me the same way – which is the way I feel I deserve to be treated. In other words, I set myself up to be punished for my wrongdoing. A.W. Tozer described this phenomenon as “the perpetual penance of regret.” Regret is the ruiner of relationships. Its toxicity will leak out and affect those who have nothing to do with it. But it doesn't have to be this way. Join us this weekend as we discover God's remedy for regret.
