@modernchristendom.bsky.socialForgiveness is difficult because we often believe holding onto resentment gives us power. But Scripture teaches that refusing to forgive can imprison the person carrying the anger more than the person who caused the hurt.
@modernchristendom.bsky.socialSociety often says, “You are what you achieve.” Jesus asks a different question: What does it profit someone to gain the whole world but lose their soul? Your worth cannot be reduced to your accomplishments.
@modernchristendom.bsky.socialChristianity didn't simply survive the Roman Empire, it transformed it.
A faith once persecuted became a force that reshaped law, charity, education, and the very idea of human dignity across Europe.
Amen
