Now that I’ve gotten your attention, let’s talk about idolatry! Idolatry is a foreign concept to many Christians today who think it is merely the worship of a wooden statue. Idolatry is the worship of anything other than Christ. In fact, the best way to illustrate it right now is the Brett Favre saga of…
II Corinthians 1:3-4 “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our affliction, so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by…
How does the biblical model provide real hope and help? How does it work? Philippians 2:13 tells: “for it is God who works in you, both to will and to work for His good pleasure.” God provides the POWER to will – or, to want to do the right thing – and that same power provides…
Do you believe Christ can overcome any problem in your life? Has He done so? Share your testimony with us on this blog: it will encourage us all. I believe. I see it many times when we counsel others. We see them come in down and discouraged and leave with confidence and hope in Christ….
“Don’t trade our love for tea and sympathy” are the lyrics to a song by the Christian group: Jars of Clay.

I hate the worldly concepts about “addiction” that tell people that they cannot ever overcome their addiction because it is a supposed “lifelong illness with no cure.” It’s a supposed “disease” that they must cope with for the remainder of their lives. What’s true about in this worldly approach to “addiction” is that there is…

The Lord DIVINELY INTERVENED in all of these situations to either save the addict OR to bring the person back to Himself. Last year, I had a book published called Divine Intervention:…
Psalm 32:1-5: “Blessed is the one whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered. Blessed is the man against whom the Lord counts no iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no deceit.
