The results can be amazing...and scary. But it's always cheaper than a therapist.

Maybe I was just angry that the world had become such a complicated place, that I have never known even a fraction of the truth about it.

All of our wounds can be healed by a tested leader who is willing to fight for the character of our nation.

Rick RiordanToo many Christians become bitter and angry in the conflict. If we descend into hatefulness, we have already lost the battle. We must cooperate with God in turning what was meant for evil into a greater good within us. This is why we bless those who would curse us: It is not only for their sakes but to preserve our own soul from its natural response toward hatred.
