So, how do we overcome despair, doubt and fear? Get back to basics, get back to God and get in the 'Spiritual Gymnasium.' Carpe crucis!

"Are you looking at me?" Travis Bickle's famous monologue challenges his mirror image. And yet, in evangelism, we are to try and share a fundamental difference with those who would listen, with the presupposition on the other part that we are the same. "Yes," is our reply, "and God is here with me too." I don't think it funny, but it is not a coincidence that the breaks in blogging always relate to a break in faith. Yet we do not suffer anything that is uncommon to man. This first post was actually deleted at one point, as nobody likes to reveal their weakness or despair. However, the Lord has shared with me about the death by suicide of two young pastors recently, and I hope and pray that in sharing my times of weakness, I can in some way encourage others to take strength and hope. These are difficult times, and we are called to trust in God's plan and outworking of salvation, so let us share our bad and good stories, so that His Holy Spirit can remind us of remedy and overcoming, for God's glory. |
