After class I told my teacher I was stealing, uh, borrowing it. I placed it at the top of the “things to write about” pile in my head and went to church. We need to make sure we're giving people the actual Gospel," he told us. Was he lumping his students into the church of the itching ears the Bible warns about?

How Big is Your Child's Backyard? Adolescence is a time for self-exploration. “Who am I and how do I relate to the world? How is it possible that folks who were so immature, made a lot of bad choices, did not trust God, caused pain and suffering to themselves and others can be held in such high esteem? Is God For You?

Faith Calms Anxiety Storms. Holding onto truth when emotions are on high alert is hugely daunting. When panic sets in, we automatically equate feeling with truth, believing “If I feel this much fear about something, then my worry must be true.

Emotions also give us energy to overcome fear. In some households, anger was used to overpower, intimidate, and harm. But emotions can be used positively to push through fear barriers. I’ve read amazing accounts where adrenaline provided people the physical strength and courage to act in a crisis....Transformation is a...

Replace Your Distorted Filter. Meeting a counseling client for the first time, I’m listening to what. Information they’re communicating, observing how. They express it, and making note of why.

Love God and Others: August 2015
http://7christians.blogspot.com/2015_08_01_archive.html
Love God and Others. Monday, August 31, 2015. 8220;I am the prodigal son every time I search for unconditional love where it cannot be found.”. Henri J.M. Nouwen. Return of the Prodigal Son.
