24 Leadership Quotes And Lessons From Johnny Hunt On Forgiveness #JHMC2015 Session 2

This weekend I am attending the Johnny Hunt Mens Conference at First Baptist Church Woodstock (GA).  Dr. Johnny Hunt is one of America’s great pastors and this conference is dealing with the issue of forgiveness.  

Pastor Hunt continued discussing the dangers of the sin of unforgiveness in today’s opening plenary session.  His words will challenge and inspire you.  And hopefully, they will change you.

Also, if you are a pastor or church leader, please make sure you take advantage of a special FREE resource shown below from INJOY Stewardship Solutions which will make you a better preacher.

The following are Pastor Johnny’s comments from the 2nd session:

1. You can’t compartmentalize unforgiveness. You can’t control sin. You can’t manage sin. Sin is never satisfied with the amount of you it possesses.
2. Until you start thinking right, you will never start behaving right. Repentance always deals with the changing of the mind.
3. Will you ask God to bring you to the place where you’re willing to be willing?
4. Never stop forgiving.
5. You have to experience grace to be one who knows how to give it.
6. Forgiven sin is better than accumulated wrath.
7. A woman never wrote, “Thou shalt not commit adultery.” God wrote that. You sin first and foremost against God.
8. Forgiveness is not cheap even though it’s free.
9. David did not pay for his forgiveness. He did pay for his unforgiveness.
10. All our good works and good intentions can’t solve our sin problem.
11. If a preacher tells you how God says you are, I don’t see how you can say that’s bad preaching.
12. Sin will do a number on you.
13. You can know you’re a Christian if, not are you dealing with your sin before God but is God dealing with you about your sin.
14. Sin regardless of how you get there is a vulnerable and a dangerous place to be. Living in unforgiveness is living in an unsafe place.
15. There will be no change until the pain of staying the same becomes greater than pain of change.
16. In order to receive a pardon you must plead guilty.
17. If you have an offense against me, do you know you can’t repent of my sin? You can only plead your own personal pardon at the throne of God.
18. When you go before God, you can only confess one person’s sins.
19. You turn to God from idols. Not from idols to God.
20. We are dealing in a day and time when the courts are defining sin different than the church.
21. When a person gets right with God, my eyes are upward…I’m poor in spirit. I’m spiritually bankrupt.
22. All the good you’ve ever done does not make it permissible to sin now.
23. Apart from Jesus Christ you are spiritually bankrupt.
24. Feel the force of forgiveness.
