                    Illustrations:  Forgiveness Is Strength
   Christian forgiveness should not be a refusal of strength, but rather ought to manifest an alternative power; Christian love, whether of neighbors or of enemies, should be a sign not of repressed anger and hatred but of anger and hatred confronted and,

                    1 From strength to strength we sometimes go, then again we're sinking low,
In the shadow of a mountain looming high above our heads.
We need not fear what lies ahead for the Word has clearly said,
That our faith would be sufficient to make the mountain disappear.
CHORUS:
Speak to the mountain,

                    Spiritual Problem--Spiritual Cure
I picked up a recent book which I received from the AACC Convention called "Caring for People God's Way." The book is written by three people Tim Clinton, Archibald Hart and George Ohlschlager. The book is considered a new guide for Christian Counseling and is

                    DISCIPLINE, BROKENNESS, AND STRENGTH
Discipline is a virtue that is in short supply nowadays. We see men and women demonstrating a dangerous lack of self restraint and discipline. People do things just because they feel like it, ignoring the consequences. What there is no restraint, no discipline

                    Illustration: One day a small boy was trying to lift a heavy stone, but he couldn’t budge it. His father, passing by, stopped to watch his efforts. Finally he said to his son: “Are you using all your strength?’
“Yes, I am,” the boy cried, exasperated.
“No,” the father said calmly, “You’re not.

                    My beautiful mama was always so strong, a tower of strength, courage and faith that stood like a beacon for our family. 
Psalm 46:1 says God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.
As I meditated on this, I remembered a time when I was about 3 years old or so.

                    SPIRITUAL ANARCHY
In his [Barna’s] new volume he flatly states that moral anarchy has arrived and rules our culture today. The argument hinges on a substantial amount of attitudinal and behavioral evidence: record bankruptcy levels, frivolous lawsuits, the rapid growth of the pornography industry,
