Dealing with Anger - The Biblical Way
Any emotion that is out of control can be bad, but I want to talk about a specific and most volatile emotion—anger. When anger begins to build up in our daily lives in our homes and closest relationships, we spare ourselves and our loved ones when we control our responses and when we identify the root of our anger.

The Power of "Quiet"
It wasn’t long before she googled what I could only guess was “most offensive verses in the Bible” and began reading through a list of single verses. One of the verses she read was 1 Timothy 2:12, which says

Three Encouraging Verses to Memorize
As to be expected in our imperfect world, there are times that come when things aren’t going exactly the way we hoped. And other times, it can feel like our lives are in shambles. Each person experiences their own degree of pain, their own level of heartbreak. Fortunately for us, we are not alone in these times!
