“I will praise the name of God with a song, and will magnify Him with thanksgiving!“ Psalm 69:30 David wrote this Psalm as a result of experiencing reproach, shame, and dishonor. He was hated without a cause. He was weary with crying. But, through it all, he prayed; “Hear me, O Lord, for Your lovingkindness… Read More »Praise in the Midst of Hurt
I am drawn to the subject of ignorance that prevails in the lives of many professing Christians. There is rampant idolatry, depression, fear, bondage, sexual immorality, etc., that counselors and pastors have to deal with in the sheep-fold of the Christian faith. In my experience it is the blight of ignorancethat is the cause of… Read More »The Blight of Ignorance
The more I counsel people the more I see the failure of believers in Christ to use the vast depth of the Scriptures to help them in their pain, their loss, their sufferings, their anxieties, their depression, their hopelessness, their guilt, their shame, their lusts, and the list goes on. The saints of old leaned… Read More »Facing Life’s Issues with Scripture
One of the most important weapons that I have found for protection against demonic spirits in the home is the anointing oil.

In this article I will be focusing on the practice of repentance by the spirit of habitual repentance. In my experience the most prevalent reason for failure in a believer’s life is the neglect of… Read More »Habitual Repentance
This is the third Counseling Corner written on repentance. I want to speak of the importance of the need for a full examination of one’s sin after he has made a profession of faith. Asking forgiveness for one’s sins against God and entering into the new birth (II Corinthians 5:17) is a wonderful experience. But,… Read More »Repentance and Cleansing
Over the years I have seen many make professions of faith, but not all of these that professed sorrow over their sins had a heart to forsake their sins. It’s quite a task to discern whether a person really is born-again in many cases. Are we not reminded of the Scriptural text; “This people honors… Read More »Repentance Unto Salvation
Any counseling that does not exhort one to true repentance is on sinking sand. In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus said; “Therefore, everyone who hears these sayings of Mine and does not do them will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand.” Matthew 7:26 It is astounding the number… Read More »The Disappearance of True Repentance
My wife, Cathi, and I have recently returned from a visit to Scotland and Ireland. Both countries are beautiful beyond description but the Isle of Skye, off the west coast of Scotland, especially won our hearts. We fell in love with the people and the beauty of the island. We were treated royally by a… Read More »Where Your Treasure Is
