Anxiety: Fear Of Losing Control Series

Contributed by Billy Ricks on Sep 10, 2015

Anxiety and worry come from trying to grab a hold of something that doesn't belong to us. Control of the situations that surround us. The Bible makes clear we are to control our responses to our environment and to others. We should seek self-control.

Zombie Christianity

Contributed by Charles Newman on Mar 16, 2009

Go The First Ten Feet

Contributed by Thomas Clawser on Apr 8, 2017

Self-denial is to be lifted with Jesus—and the first ten feet of his ascent is on the Cross. You cannot reach for Jesus without letting go of the things you’re holding onto. Make it your passion to go the first ten feet with Jesus.

And just in case you are tempted to interpret this up-lifted status to mean something glitzy, John sticks in a little commentary in verse 33 to make clear that the "lifting up" Jesus had in mind was the cross. Ultimately Jesus ...read more
