    How To Handle Anxiety And Worry

    Contributed by Larry Moyer on Aug 5, 2009
    based on 46 ratings
     | 47,120 views

    God does not want us to worry. He’s given us biblical examples of his power and control, and He’s even volunteered to handle things for us. This message explains how we can avoid the "What If" syndrome and leave the worrying to God.

    Medical doctors estimate that more than 25% of their patients are what they have called the "worried well." Doctors spend a great chunk of time examining people who are not sick. They are only worried. Worry is the diet of our day. We are plagued by that "What if?" problem. What if my car was ...read more

    When you put your faith in Christ, you will experience pressure and you will be tried but you will also have God who will not only give you the strength to persevere but us them tomold you, to make you more righteous.

    For the next couple of weeks, I thought we would take a close look at what has been called the “Achilles’ Heel” of Christianity. What is our “Achilles’ Heel,” you might ask?

    Contributed by Matthew Kratz on Feb 1, 2019
     | 7,083 views

    Galatians 5:16–18 introduces the passage by setting forth the nature of Spiritual Warfare between the flesh and the Spirit. In this we see 1) The Warfare Command (Galatians 5:16), 2) The Warfare Conflict (Galatians 5:17), and 3) The Warfare Caution (Galatians 5:18).

    One of the most tragic elements of warfare is the event of collateral damage. Often in military operations, civilians are caught in the crossfire. Whether it is in Palestine or Iraq, civilians often get hurt between two fighting forces. Sometimes, one side, usually the weaker one, deliberately puts ...read more
