Apologies are essential for the maintenance of all human relationships. None of us express ourselves perfectly. We are prone to speak too quickly. We are prone to say too much. Most of us do not get it right all of the time. Apologies are one way that “we confess our sins to one another that we may be healed” (James 5:16). In humbling ourselves before our brothers and sisters, we are humbling ourselves before our Lord. That too is worship.
