Hanging In There Through Anxiety Series

Contributed by Bob Joyce on Oct 10, 2007

Anxiety is common to all people, even Christians. We can learn to handle our anxiety by understanding that God is our ever present help, His strength is adequate for anything you might face and His help stands on its own.

We are living in anxious times. As I grew up we faced total annihilation by way of the bomb. My folks actually considered building a bomb shelter. Some of you may have done that.

An Illogical Question: Carest Thou Not?

Contributed by Kevin Williams on Jul 13, 2017

Don't Drop The Baton

Contributed by Dean Morgan on Sep 8, 2004

And Enoch Walked With God

Contributed by Kenneth Trent on Nov 20, 2002

One cannot walk with God without first having a true knowledge of who He is, what He demands and what He desires of us. 1. Who He is: The Almighty God who ...read more
