The 5 Lies of Panic Attacks

When panic attacks occur, the sufferer hopes that the terror will stop instantly and never return. This is a certain truth about panic attacks: no one wants them, ever. Panic attacks are brief episodes of intense dread accompanied by physical symptoms like an irregular or rapid heartbeat and sweaty palms. When you’re in the middle […] The post The 5 Lies of Panic Attacks appeared first on Lucy Ann Moll.

Learning to Love Waiting, Part 2

In part 1 we looked at Psalm 25:3 which promises that, “Indeed, none who wait for you shall be put to shame; they shall be ashamed who are wantonly treacherous.” What an amazing positive promise to the those who wait for the Lord and also a warning to those who don’t wait on him (i.e.... read more The post Learning to Love Waiting, Part 2 appeared first on Counseling with Confidence and Compassion.

The Eyes of the Wounded

Then they sat down on the ground with him for seven days and seven nights with no one speaking a word to him, for they saw that his pain was very great. Job 2:13 (NASB) As a teacher and counselor people come to me with burdens and woes of life. It can be as serious as […] The post The Eyes of the Wounded appeared first on Biblical Counseling for Women.

The Gospel Brings Healing

I find that many Christians get uncomfortable when talking about God and healing. To discuss God brining physical healing raises controversial questions about spiritual gifts. To discuss emotional healing seems […] The post The Gospel Brings Healing appeared first on IBCD.

Building a Culture of Care in Your Church: Where? When? and How?

Where does the vast majority of care happen in a local church? It happens in the weekly rhythms of natural relationships: small groups, ministry teams, conversations between parents whose children are the same age, and relationships that emerge from various men’s or women’s discipleship contexts. Most of the care provided in a church does not happen in conversations that resemble counseling: set appointment times, intake forms, meetings in an office, or well-defined helper and helpee roles.

The Messages We Receive

A recent interaction with my son led me to reflect on the messages people receive about who they are. My son asked me why there are so many pictures of him and his sister around our house, and I gave him a simple and true answer: “Because I like seeing you.” I’m thankful he asked […] The post The Messages We Receive appeared first on CCEF.

Everyone Evangelizing Everywhere

Even before he was converted on the Damascus Rd. the apostle Paul was used to evangelize the lost. ”What?” you say; “how could that be? I thought only Christians could do so.” Well, it’s true; in the providence of God the unexpected often takes place.  We must not limit God. Listen to what Luke wrote: ...

I’m a Grandfather!

Yesterday Abby and Nathan welcomed their first child into the world: Finnegan Safir Nicholas Elfarrah. Because they live just minutes away, Aileen and I were able to be there shortly after his birth to rejoice with them and to meet our first grandchild. We are thrilled beyond measure. And he is cute beyond belief. They chose the name Finnegan mostly because they just plain liked it. As for Safir, Nathan’s family is Middle Eastern and culturally the child’s grandfather gets naming rights. Nate’s dad deferred the first name and took the second, going with Safir. Nicholas is, of course, Abby’s tribute to her brother. Little Finn came in at just over 7 pounds and is healthy and well. While I know grandparents don’t always get to pick what they are going to be called (that usually seems to fall to the oldest grandchild) I hope to be “opa.” I am not Dutch but grew up in Dutch churches and surrounded by a Dutch community and “opa” is a form of tribute to the wonderful grandfathers I saw in those years. I always wanted an opa and now hope to be a good one. As I write these words it strikes me that I began this website shortly after Abby was born and a good part of my motive was to share photos and updates about her and her brother for the benefit of my family. I remember sharing news of Michaela’s birth here the day she was born. Now all these years later, even though…See AlsoWeekend A La Carte (May 25)A Summertime Family Update (And Guess Who’s Going To Be a Grandfather!)O Little Child of Salem

Does the Bible Say Anything about Going to Church?

Where did the idea of going to church originate? Some of the typical culprits suggested are Constantine, American business models, old people, or pastors desperately in need of jobs. But whose idea is it, really? The post Does the Bible Say Anything about Going to Church? appeared first on 9Marks.
