On Apologizing

By: Denny

  • I make no apology for taking God’s word literally, doing my best to obey it, and proclaim it without wavering or compromise.
  • I make no apology to anyone whose feelings get hurt or they are offended by my speaking and writing about the truths found in the Bible.
  • I make no apology for my faith in Jesus Christ to those who lack wisdom, understanding, and the fear of God.
  • I make no apology for not bowing to what is politically correct or socially endorsed as popular and acceptable.
  • I make no apology for who I am and for being a person of integrity and will not abandon my values to solicit anyone’s approval, position, or for material gain.
  •  I make no apology if God uses me to speak into a situation He wants to deal with.
  • I will not apologize to save or restore a relationship if it means I must compromise Biblical truth or if I’ve done nothing legally, morally, or ethically wrong.
  • I make no apology to those who demand to have everything their way and who use control and guilt, and I do not apologize for opposing them.
  • I make no apology to those who will not listen to what I have to say or give me a chance to respond, because they think they are always right.
  • I make no apology to those who will not receive correction or instruction.
  • I don’t apologize if I’m not truly sorry, and nobody forces me to apologize.
  • I don’t apologize for others when they are able to do so themselves, and nobody apologizes for me.
  • I make no apology for the way I raised my children instilling in them Biblical values and enforcing them sometimes with a proper spanking.
  • I make no apology for my good intentions and for blessing people when they don’t receive it or in the spirit which it was given.
  • I make an apology only one time per each offense: asking for forgiveness and expecting forgiveness in return. I will not keep begging for forgiveness you’re not willing to give.
  • I apologize when I’m wrong and expect the same from others.
  • If I apologize and desire reconciliation and you respond negatively, in rejection, shunning, or not at all; then I am free, and bitterness will soon become your best friend.  
  • I choose to forgive you, even if you choose not to forgive me.
