THE EDITOR: Even before Akon apologised for his lewd behaviour, I thought about reminding Pastor Alleyne and his daughter and congregation, that they must truly forgive Akon. I do hope that this was done already. I have not heard anything thus far.

As believers in Jesus, they will know what the Word of God says about forgiveness and unforgiveness. It doesn’t matter how painful or distressful a situation may be, true forgiveness ought to take place. Danah will be forgiven by God as long as she asks from her heart, and bears no animosity for Akon, the media, or anyone expressing his or her view negatively. Akon himself will be forgiven by God if he truly repents and surrenders his heart to Jesus. Many may not agree with this, but God’s Word is our final authority; it stands forever. Please see Psalms 66:18 which says... “If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me.”
