In And Out Of Depression Series

Contributed by Doug Johnston on Oct 12, 2001

Just as David went into a "funk" of depression while he waited for God, we too need to watch out for periods of depression as we wait for God to work in our lives.

What can make us fall into “the pits?” -Taking the wrong viewpoint “David said in his heart…” -Pessimism “I shall now perish…” -Defeatist thinking “There is nothing better for me…” What happened to Israel’s future king? +He lost his own identity and became displaced “Make this fellow ...read more

Out Of The Overflow

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Aug 17, 2007

At the Last Supper, Jesus spoke out of the overflow of His heart, which had been building toward this moment.

And you can’t take it back. You spoke out of the overflow. Or maybe when you overflow, you say less than you ...read more

Time Out

Contributed by J Bernard Taylor on Sep 30, 2008

Just as the ball players take time out from the game, we must take time out to spend with God.We take time out for rest and refreshment. We take time out for reflection before we return to the game. We finally take time out to receive our reward.
