2BNormal, I didn't realize that your H is a minister

To clarify, NO he is NOT a MINISTER. If you read my post, I stated he is in a MINISTRY POSITION at our church.

I'm sorry; I mistook the ministry position as being a minister.

However, what I said about his examining his own motives still stands. His possible fear of losing the respect of church members should not stop either of you from doing the right thing.

I don't know what denomination y'all are, but the Bible is very explicit that when we have wronged another (or that person has a grievance against us), we are to go to that person for reconciliation before we can lay our offering (or take communion) before God. I don't think that "reconciliation" in this context necessarily means that the person forgives you, but that you go to that person, confess, and apologize, which is basically all you can do in your situation.

Oh, and whether the person knows she has a grievance against you is irrelevant. YOU know that you have wronged her; and yes, by not telling her, you continue to wrong her, in direct disobedience to God.

"Your actions are so loud that I can't hear a word you're saying!"

What part of Scripture does this come from?? First Fleshalonians??

ML is right on!! Repentence looks a whole lot different than this. It is sorrow, it is turning from your evil ways, AND it is making amends. Anything short of those three things is NOT Biblical repentence!!

In His arms.

Bumping for 2B - Mortaman has it right on here.

You seem to have it nailed 2B with sorrow and crying out to God for forgiveness. How about making amends?
