Ministry Counseling

Loss brings with it many layers of grief that need to be addressed. Healing from losses requires more than just talking about our pain; it involves working through the twists and turns of conflicting emotions and confronting questions that often have no satisfactory answers. It is reassembling the pieces of life that have been shattered by assumptions and expectations in order to create a new beginning. Within the process we begin to heal and recover. But as we close one chapter of life, we need tools and information to begin a new chapter.

Cependant, nous avons souvent peur de nous immiscer dans les problèmes des autres. Nous nous sentons incompétents et nous préférons laisser cela à des experts et des spécialistes. Toutefois, l’aide qui peut être apportée par les amis est précieuse et elle ne doit pas être négligée. Dieu se plaît à nous voir grandir et à nous transformer grâce à l’aide d’individus ordinaires qui ont été transformés par Christ.

Jesus told people to sin no more. Rather than tell them the struggle with sin and Satan would be difficult, He said, "My yoke is easy, and my burden is light." Jesus doesn't ask us to do the impossible. Ken Gould rejected distorted teachings about God and was an atheist for 20 years, until God revealed his existence to him.

Forgiveness is not necessarily reconciliation. Forgiveness is not magic, and healing is a process.

Therefore, whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.” - Matthew 18:3-4 (NIV). In Living Free, like You're 3!, Alicia V.

Now, with the Holy Spirit to guide me, involvement in prison ministry provided a rich environment to be used to touch men's hearts with the truth of Christ.

If there was a fight going on, Jeremiah was at the center of it. If there was someone his gang needed to be taken out, he was ready to be a part of it.

After making sure that the bullet was in place this time, Johnny re-pointed the gun to the back of Luke’s head and pulled the trigger. The recoil of the gun sounded like a cannon.
