    The Cross

    Contributed by Ken Mckinley on Sep 24, 2022
     | 2,767 views

I would rather study God’s Word than watch football or go to a UFC fight, which is saying a lot, because I enjoy both of those things. I would rather ...read more

     | 4,080 views

    We are living in a day and age of uncertainty/anxiety, where we are being pulled in so many directions we are emotionally and physically exhausted. Anxiety and worry have choked the joy out of of lives, how can we experience the peace of God in our lives?

But pre-pandemic the OECD reported that anxiety is the most common mental disorder in the world.

    Probably nothing can contribute more to the quality of our lives than a positive attitude. And yet, sometimes it is so easy for us to become critical. And we end up focusing on the negative.
