Two years before the anointing, my life as a type 1 diabetic catapulted out of control. I had been a diabetic for more than 25 years and had always kept very tight control of my blood sugar levels. The doses I gave were very calculated and had proven trustworthy for my body for many years. The following two events were very uncharacteristic of everything...

Left behind! When I think of those two words I consider feelings of abandonment, loneliness, despair, isolation, unworthiness, rejection, and frustration. No one wants to be left behind. Jarett did not choose to be left behind while his family returned home. It was a matter of...

The yearly Day of Atonement in the earthly sanctuary was symbolic of the heavenly Day of Atonement, when our Great High Priest Jesus Christ will cleanse the heavenly sanctuary once and for all, removing all the sins we have transferred there since the fall of humanity. All the confessed sins in heaven will be placed on...

For one night they indulge in the creepy ambiance of haunted houses and ghost stories. Too many people, it seems like harmless fun. But what is really being celebrated here? Should we, as Christians, really be participating in this holiday? Halloween is an ancient...

I remember in my early 20s having the same problem of believing lies. I was convinced that I was unattractive, undesirable, and intellectually incapable, among other insecurities.
