We all deal with STRESS in different ways. There is GOOD STRESS and there is BAD STRESS!

Good stress, also called “eustress”, is very beneficial to our life. It means we stretch ourselves to be our very best. For years we've believed that stress is a bad thing - it damages our health.

There Is Hope

Contributed by Charlie Roberts on Jun 21, 2020

The church must stop being reactive and always playing defense to satan’s attacks! It’s high time the church mounted, an offensive attack and became proactive against the never ending attack of the accuser!

Calling

Contributed by Mary G. on Dec 9, 2020

We can have whichever vocation we want if it is not sinful and is working wholeheartedly for God while walking in love (if we haven't already heard clearly from God regarding a path we need to be on). We are free in Christ.

Some Christians want to be rigid regarding their calling/vocation. I learned differently at Christian Counseling School. God does not call us to rigidity. It is unhealthy. We are free in Christ (Holy Bible, New International Version, 1973/2011, Galatians 5:11 ). We can have whichever vocation we ...read more
