It is that time of year….Halloween is this weekend and then people are going to start focusing on the holiday season. Ask people what they like about the season, and unless you hear depressing stories, you hear how it is about love, and caring, and family, and giving…You know what I’m talking about….It is like [...]

Do you struggle much with worry? As a counselor and a pastor I talk to people every day who worry. When they are not worried about one thing they turn their worry on something else. We have been created by God to focus on, or worship God. When we don’t focus on God there is [...]

I like to call comforting verses or Scripture that you can look to for encouragement refrigerator verses. You ought to have them around, or even better, memorized to pull out when you need them. One of those is:
The Lord is close to the brokenhearted; he rescues those whose spirits are crushed. Ps 34:18

In the beginning God said, “It is not good for man to be alone.” (Gen 2:18) It is ironic that humans, when given the choice, tend to go in the opposite direction of what God intended. When we try to use our own wisdom, our own feelings, we reject God’s wisdom. And when we do, the Bible labels it pride and [...]
