He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not

Contributed by Dale Pilgrim on Mar 2, 2008

The cry of the inner child remains the same. We desperately want someone to love us. Love me for me. Charles Spurgeon (English preacher of the 19th century) said, “God chose me before I was born; for he never would have chosen me afterwards!”

Speaking The Truth In Love - Loving The Mentally Ill Series

Contributed by Daren Mitchell on Jul 17, 2013

If we love the mentally ill, we won't judge them, blame them or suggest that they are simply suffering through a spiritual battle. If we love them, we will help, we will listen, we will accept them.

Today we're going to continue to speak the truth in love for another group of folks that we don't talk about much. This is what we want to discuss ...read more

If you have a story to tell, and it’s supposed to be good news, it won’t make any sense unless you sound like a good news person. There used to be a character on the Saturday cartoons.
