How to Overcome Fear

Fear Gone Wild

In Romans 12:2  Apostle Paul said that we are transformed by the renewing of the mind. Many of us think that once our life is transformed, then our mind will be renewed. It is the other way around.

7 Ways to Renew Your Mind

We think that our thoughts can be kept in secret in our mind, but they cannot.

It takes a lot of sacrifice and compromise for two people to become one in marriage. Add a disability into the mix and the struggles can seem overwhelming. Physical and emotional impairments often clamor for undivided attention, which can lead to self-centeredness and other barriers. But when a couple determines to keep Jesus Christ at the center of the relationship, a disability can actually become a benefit in a marriage.

Marriage And Disability

Do you have the feeling that no one really gets you—even your friends? Do you long for close relationships, but haven’t been able to find them? Not only does God promise to be close to us, he also provides companionship—and through his church, he even gives us a family.
