| d95e0b8 | When you have to manage the world, please everyone, earn more than you did last year, and work off five pounds, you will be driven. If not, you run the risk of being un-American or even un-Christian because our economy and churches rely on such people. Even when paralyzed by circumstances, a stressed person is a driven person. | Edward T. Welch | ||

| d1a5538 | Fear" in the biblical sense is a much broader word. It includes being afraid of someone, but it extends to holding someone in awe, being controlled or mastered by people, worshipping other people, putting your trust in people, or needing people." | Edward T. Welch | ||
| f10c1fc | God's self-revelation is a higher authority than our feelings. | bible fear god worry | Edward T. Welch | |
| 4b90a74 | Aren't most diets, even when they are ostensibly under the heading of "health," dedicated to impressing others? The desire for the "praise of men" is one of the ways we exalt people above God." | Edward T. Welch | ||
| 3d7d721 | The love of God can be a profound answer to just about any human struggle, but sometimes we can use it in such a way that it becomes a watered down version of profoundly rich truth. For example, sometimes, because of shortcomings in us rather than Scripture, this answer misses the call to "consider others better than yourselves" (Phil. 2:3), or it ignores personal repentance. Sometimes it still allows us and our needs to be at the center of.. | Edward T. Welch | ||
| 40c4545 | What is shame? You are shunned. Faces are turned away from you. They ignore you, as if you didn't exist. You are naked. Faces are turned toward you. | Edward T. Welch | ||

| 50ef200 | To look to Christ to meet our perceived psychological needs is to Christianize our lusts. We are asking God to give us what we want, so we can feel better about ourselves, or so we can have more happiness, not holiness, in our lives. | Edward T. Welch | ||
| 38325a0 | God, open my ears. I don't clearly hear your care and compassion when you tell me not to worry or be afraid, but I know they are there. Father, open my eyes. I act like I see all reality. I act like I can see even more than you do. But I am seeing now that there is an entire world that is blurry to me, and that world is you. It is you I don't see well. I want to trust in what you say and see the things you have revealed. That leaves me no c.. | Edward T. Welch | ||
| 630ec71 | Need theories can thrive only in a context where the emphasis is on the individual rather than the community and where consumption is a way of life. | Edward T. Welch | ||
| f9a3051 | Do you believe that it is impossible for the Holy God to love you and even delight in you? If so, you are believing Satan's lie that God loves you because of what you do. The truth is that he loves you because he is the God who loves, and the sacrifice of Jesus proves it. The cross of Christ expresses God's delight in all who believe, and if you believe that Jesus is the risen Lord, he delights in and loves you. | truth | Edward T. Welch | |
| 508b141 | The perceived meaninglessness of work is often part of depression. It usually, however, is a sign of depression rather than a cause. Death. | Edward T. Welch | ||
| 42731a3 | Screwtape warns Wormwood] Our cause is never more in danger than when a human, no longer desiring, but still intending, to do our Enemy's [God's] will, looks around upon a universe from which every trace of Him seems to have vanished, and asks why he has been forsaken, and still obeys.4 | Edward T. Welch | ||
| 1345d57 | We must hate the evil and ungodly assumptions of the world, we must hate our own sinful nature, and we must hate Satan. To accomplish these tasks demands the most powerful resources we have: the Word, the Spirit, and the body of Christ. | Edward T. Welch | ||
| a195f37 | There is a resiliency in the human spirit that keeps us going even when we have no reason to continue. | Edward T. Welch | ||
| 23ab35a | We are all one, and if we don't know it we will learn it the hard way. | Bayard Rustin | ||
| 9eb59e0 | Yes, genuine pain and loss coexisted with the deliverance, but it did not have the last word. Its power to hurt him was weakened because he could see the bigger things God was doing in, for, and through him. You can probably find similar events in your life. Hard things persisted, there was no apparent deliverance, but, with closer inspection, you notice a deliverance that went much deeper. And these are eleventh-hour deliverances on this s.. | Edward T.

| 3f47a1e | Hope will only grow in the ground of humility. | Edward T. Welch | ||
| 6627268 | It is only fair to add that you should be undecided about spiritual causes too. By this I mean that you can't immediately say that there is one core sin that has caused your depression. Some people race toward this explanation; they hope that once they discover that sin, everything will change. Others run from this perspective; they think spiritual explanations are prehistoric and misguided. The truth is in the middle of these two poles. Si.. | Edward T. Welch | ||
| cbfe8d4 | Even if medication relieves some of the burden of depression, it may be functioning like aspirin. That is, it takes away some of the symptoms but the root problems persist. | Edward T. Welch | ||
| 229c61c | James intentionally enlarges the scope of suffering when he writes, "trials of many kinds." By doing this, he invites those who experience depression to learn that, whatever the cause, depression will test our faith and serve as a catalyst for growth rather than a reason for despair. Yes, depression is spiritual in the same way that all suffering brings us face-to-face with critical spiritual realities." | Edward T. Welch | ||
| ede3412 | Will we trust him? That's the obvious question after God reveals himself to fearful people. Whose kingdom are you seeking? Do you trust the King who is also your Father? Dangers abound, and life is comprised of hourly risks, but the real issue behind worry is that of spiritual allegiances. Our answer? "Sort of...a little...usually." We sort of want the kingdom, and we sort of want to trust the King--until life gets precarious. When everythi.. | CCEF | ||
| 30cd464 | Since the desires for power and control are in every heart, you don't have to look overseas for lawless brutality. It happens every day between parents and children, boyfriends and girlfriends, husbands and wives. Where there is injustice, shame will be part of its fallout. | Edward T. Welch | ||

| e236fe8 | The fear of God is the death of every other fear; like a mighty lion, it chases all other fears before it." --Charles Spurgeon "We are more concerned about looking stupid (fear of people) than we are about acting sinfully (fear of the Lord)." --Edward T. Welch" | Randy Alcorn | ||
| f22a14d | Humility means that you acknowledge you don't know everything, and you might be especially confused when it comes to God. | Edward T. Welch | ||
| bd4539c | The key to learning the fear of the Lord is to stay in Scripture. When you are in the Scripture, pray that God would teach you that he is the Holy One. | Edward T. Welch | ||
| dcf2e1e | Durante nuestro viaje se realizaron dos celebraciones para honrar el talento de sendas personas. Todos los miembros de la tribu reciben este reconocimiento mediante una fiesta especial, pero no tiene nada que ver con la edad ni los cumpleanos; con ella se reconoce el caracter unico de ese talento y su contribucion a la vida.

| 9168e8a | The key to learning the fear of the Lord is to stay in Scripture. When you are in the Scripture, pray that God would teach you that he is the Holy One. 1. Review the creation psalms: Psalms 8; 19; 29; 65; 104. 2. Meditate on the enthronement psalms: e.g., Psalm 95-97; 99. 3. Memorize Psalm 139. It states that God's providence is so extensive it goes into all the details of our lives. 4. Go through a hymn book and highlight songs that expres.. | Edward T. Welch | ||
