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.

Your Part in Friendship

What does it take to be a true friend? Sacrifice would be the first word that comes to my mind. The greatest sacrifice is not your time, or your money, or the energy it takes to put into a friendship. The greatest sacrifice is that of emotion.

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.

Emotions and Our Past, Present, and Future

Emotions are part of God’s good design. Sometimes this is hard to convince ourselves of when our emotions are so visceral that we can’t see past them.  When we are hyperventilating because of anxiety and panic or when we are overwhelmed with grief over the loss of a loved one, it can be difficult to recognize the gift of those emotional responses because they feel so undesirable to us. However, I am convinced that Scripture speaks to our experience of emotions by showing them to be active responses of love that are made in the present, passive reflections of the past, but also that they should be flavored with present help and future hope from God.

Regrets in Parenting and Bothering Jesus

Over the past year, I have dedicated much of my ministry work to parents. I have not sought to provide guidance on how to parent but rather to bring comfort for the many distressing emotions parents experience. One of the more challenging emotions parents experience is regret. When parents struggle with regret, we review and […] The post Regrets in Parenting and Bothering Jesus appeared first on CCEF.

What to Do About It

“What do you do when you don’t know what to do?” Are you serious, or are you presenting me with a conundrum? “No. I’m dead serious. I have a decision to make as to whether or not to do something.

It Is Not a Complimentary Gospel

I think we have all felt the temptation to modify the gospel, to preach a gospel that is inaccurate or incomplete. I think we have all felt the desire to avoid the reproach that may come upon us when we preach the whole gospel and true gospel—the gospel that is so very bad before it is so very good. The fact is, the true gospel is not complimentary. It is not admiring or flattering. Rather, it describes humanity in all our sinfulness and depravity, all our hopelessness and lostness. Not so long ago I came across some words from the old preacher De Witt Talmage that describe this well. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do. You see this is not a complimentary gospel. That is what makes some people so incensed. It comes to a man of a million dollars, and impenitent in his sins, and says, “You are a pauper.” It comes to a woman of fairest cheek, who has never repented, and says, “You are a leper.” It comes to a man priding himself on his independence, and says, “You are bound hand and foot by the devil.” It comes to our entire race and says, “You are a ruin, a ghastly ruin, and a limitless ruin, and, unless the grace of God rebuild you, an everlasting ruin.” Satan sometimes says to me; “Why do you not preach that truth? Why don’t you preach a gospel with no repentance in it? Why don’t you flatter men’s hearts so that…See AlsoA La Carte (October 31)Everyday GospelEvangelize 2024: Growing a Church That Proclaims The Gospel

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.

The Birth, Life, and Death of an Intrusive Thought

This article explores the prevalence and impact of intrusive thoughts, particularly in the context of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD).
