Three Mistakes You’re Making With Your Feelings

Posted by Suzanne Holland | May 16, 2017 | Anger, Depression, Emotions, Sin |

Sin is sin, right? Lying is a sin. Adultery is a sin. Murder is a sin. I’m pretty sure we can all agree on those. But then there are other things—attitudes of the heart—that we sometimes want to debate. For example, if we feel angry about something, and we hang onto that anger in our hearts, but we don’t take it out on anyone and we don’t become vengeful, is that a sin? What about envy or resentment? If someone seems to have a better life than we do, and we find that we just don’t really want to be their friend, is that a sin? After all, we’re not commanded to be friends with everyone, right? How about depression? Can we just say that we have a melancholy personality, and be excused from seeking to be joyful in life?

It seemed preferable to their journey of freedom! In a similar way, the vices of our pre-Christian life such as lying, stealing, fits of rage, drunkenness, pride, hatred, divisiveness will bring us into sinful bondage again if we do not reject them.

For those of us in the trenches of biblical counseling, there is always the danger of becoming several things we don’t want to become. So in no particular order, here are three of the dangerous directions we can go as we face the sin and sorrow of a hurting world.

The Gospel and One-Another Ministry, Part 2

Posted by Ellen Castillo | Mar 1, 2017 | Discipleship, Gospel Centered, Relationships, Sin, Suffering |

As you engage in a One-Another relationship, after you have helped someone to apply the Gospel and she grasps these Truths, you can continue to disciple her as you apply Scriptural principles, commands, and promises to her struggles as well. This is ongoing “one-another ministry”! Simply put, this is DISCIPLESHIP.
