     | 5,141 views

    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.

    A few weeks ago we discussed what it means to speak the truth in love and how we do so with unbelievers and how we love those who embrace immorality. 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

They don’t give Him the time of day: there’s no room for Him in their lives or mind until trouble or tragedy strikes. Sadly, if we are honest, Christians fair ...read more
