On Monday, June 17, 2013, Mark Driscoll posted a few tweets on forgiveness amid thoughts about
things like Father's Day. These tweets stand out for being a bit odd and out of place. But since they're about forgiveness, and Driscoll made a point of talking about forgiveness at the Thrive conference lately, we can revisit them.

Forgiveness is not covering up sin committed against us. If a crime is committed, you can
forgive someone & still call the cops.

Healthy transitions in relays & leadership come down to the handoff. Train up your successor.
Don't chuck the baton & storm off the track.

Forgiveness is a gift to your offender...and to yourself, freeing you up to move on with your
life.

So if we take for conversational purposes that Driscoll says forgiveness is important, by Driscoll's own axioms on forgiveness, you can forgive someone in a way that doesn't cover up the sin they have committed against you. If a crime is committed you an forgive someone and still call the cops.
Or at least that's forgiveness according to tweets by Mark Driscoll.
