That being said, forgetting something means that we didn't learn anything from it. While constantly dredging up painful memories can be much more harmful than beneficial, once in a while it is helpful to look back and say "That didn't go so well the first time...maybe God was trying to tell me something."

What Paul is talking about here is the fact that our past sins and failures do not determine our future. “We are made right with God by placing our faith in Jesus Christ. And this is true for everyone who believes, no matter who we are.” (Romans 3:22) The flip side of that, however, is that our previous good does no good now. No matter what races we have won before, we need to focus on the race we are currently running. We don’t have time to stop and pat ourselves on the back.

I too get a lot out of Ravi--books, lectures, debates, radio program, everything. Hadn't hear this tho'. Can you post something that will get us to that talk? I have a real burden for kids going into the lion's den that is public post-2ndary ed. in America. My wife & I give J. Budziszewski's How to Stay Christian in College (forgive the implication that you can lose salvation, which may be unintentional?). Of course, we always send them to apologetic "outfitters" like Probe.org, LeaderU.com. etc. But I never heard mentioned the forgetting of the past. Judging from Facebook posts of high schoolers, it's much needed. See you on Twitter. Zach, interesting post. I too get a lot out of Ravi–books, lectures, debates, radio program, everything.
