Re: Mental Health Awareness & the Conservative Church(s)

We tend to view mental problems as a spiritual problem, putting the cart before the horse. For me, my depression definitely was a spiritual issue, though I'm willing to acknowledge that there are other things that can cause it. This link from Psychology Today hits the nail on the head regarding bot...

Re: The Curse of Low Self-Confidence

I agree with this, but I'm not sure I would call it self-confidence. I would call it Christ-confidence. True.

To me, being pro-life is valuing all life, regardless of age or location. When I was a teen, I heard the statement on a Focus on the Family program that if we as Christians are going to be pro-life, we must also be willing to adopt.

Re: Bill Gothard?

I'm going out on a limb to mention one thing that I learned a decade ago from the Basic Seminar that has stuck with me and helped me see things more clearly.
