Forgiveness; Our Future

"Jesus heard about it and spoke up, "Who needs a doctor: the healthy or the sick? I'm here inviting outsiders, not insiders—an invitation to a changed life, changed inside and out." [Luke 5:31-32]

I reckon the family of 'outsiders' doesn't think they are outside of something until someone tells them or shows them their need for more. I also think we as the church can do a better job at asking for forgiveness...instead of insisting that people convert and modify their lives so we can claim their life-change as a sign that God is on our side...enough heh? Desmond Tutu spoke well saying, "Without forgiveness, there is no future."
