Victory Over Worries

Contributed by Kamalanathan Francis on Nov 30, 2020

People become victims of GAD as a result of pathological worrying, People worry and people develop worry in two different forms according to research. Worries are stored in our minds as images and in verbal form.

I do not know how you perceive, but to me, anything Bible teaches is not a giving us suggestions but a command. If we have learned to avoid unbiblical practices, our life would be much happier.

Turning The Other Cheek

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 13, 2021

The religious leaders of the world can quote their wise and holy men in ways that show they too have many of the values of the Sermon on the Mount. But they have nothing to match the teachings of Christ on the love of one's enemies.

He came to America for religious freedom, and he expected to have more of it than anybody was willing to give him. ...read more
