God Speaks Your Love Language

I have read Mr. Chapman's Five Love Languages Singles Edition and I really enjoyed it. This Edition is really good as well. It recaps the Five Love Languages First, Words of Affirmation, Second Quality Time, Third Gifts, Fourth Acts of Service and finally Five Physical Touch. But he explains how they apply to the way a believer worships God. For example, The Words of Affirmation Praising God through praying, thanksgiving. Quality Time Studying Scriptures, reading a devotional  book,  mediating, Gifts, Money, Meeting the Physical Needs of others, Giving Encouragement. Acts of Service, Service to others, for example, cooking. Physical Touch Experiencing God's presence Physically. For example, Washing someone's feet.  Mr. Chapman says God communicates with us through worship with our own love languages. There is no barrier or boundaries. It comes down to us and God.

Crossway Depression, Anxiety, and The Christian Life

This ebook is a clinical view of Depression, Anxiety, and The Christian Life.  I am a Christian and I suffer from Anxiety. I am on prescribed medication for it.  When Christians find out other Christians suffer or or dealing with anxiety they are quick to judge. Pointing out that why would you be anxious? Maybe you should pray more and read your Bible.  They dismiss it. They try to make it seem smaller than it really is. Being flawed to some Christians is a sin.  They have the image of what a Christian should be acting like, perfect. People are not perfect. Christians are people too. The standards some set in the church is never going to be reachable. Jesus is perfect, he is divine. Humans are flawed.  We will always be. Being a Christian and someone who suffers from anxiety It is  does not make me less of a Christian than standing in a garage makes me car. "Look at me"! I am car. It is not fair to make someone who suffers from a medical condition  who is getting help fro

When God's Ways Make No Sense

Sometimes in life, when a believer prays for something it does not happen or it happens in the way the person is not expecting.   And in my life this has happened recently. When my canine became older and started getting sick, I would pray and ask others to pray as well. Then she would feel better. But I would have to this all the time. I would worry and pray this became my life. I also became stressed and I worried that she would get worse and die in her sleep. I didn't know what I would do.  But then, she got worse, the last 7 months of her 11 year life. She lost weight, she could not hold her pee and she would poop after she ate. She slept all day. She was just existing.  Then, October 2nd, we had to make the choice to lay her to rest.   So, I began to question God, I wondered why she was here for 11 years and almost 8 with me and my family for her to pass away on an exam table.  When God's Ways Make No Sense is in my view about how all Christians struggle to accept God
