There are millions who would tell you they’re not concerned about the judgment to come. I have met quite a few who say “I will take my chances“. Such souls are absolutely oblivious to their own sinful nature somehow thinking 50% is good enough. Here: if you want to really see what your percentage of […]
What’s it cost to be a nice guy.? Especially if you have things extra you can give. What’s it cost to be a holy guy in Christ? Regardless, the things you used to own.
What is sinner gonna ever say to sinners that what he firmly believes in Christ might be imparted to their souls? Nothing. How is a man gonna change the ratio between the utterly depraved and helpless worthlessness of man and those who have been made to understand the grace of God? He’s not. These words […]
What if: What if there was no such thing as PTSD? What if the memories of tragedy, self imposed or otherwise, simply didn’t exist. Who would we have become? But PTSD is excruciatingly real. Memories stand in line just waiting their turn to enraged the fire. Here’s a thought: while suffering on the inside is […]
What makes Christianity endlessly different in this world? The foundation of difference is the question of who is responsible for my salvation. Do we share even the tiniest portion of responsibility for our salvation with the living God? Thinking that we obey anything he tells us to do is to divide the responsibility beyond Christ. […]
Dear Russian leadership: I’m not a historian. I can’t unequivocally say there has never been an army like yours. So I can only understand what I see you doing by equating it with my own life, but I have to say that, even in my own life, I do not see the likeness of your […]
Something to nag at your memory for pondering: I have said that the name of God is far more than saying God. It is everything he has done everything he is doing and everything he will do for eternity. No man can possibly speak that, so he gave us a name we could speak. That […]

Suicide is rarely beautiful. In some cases it can be a final, welcome end to pain, like a painful terminal illness for example. In most cases, it’s the result of an inability to find a better way out of the pain. Usually there is a way out. Sometimes people can find a way out on their own. But often enough they can’t. When they can’t, they need the help of others. There is no shame in seeking out help. Professional psychologists are trained to help people find the answers that are hidden within themselves, answers that they can’t always find on their own. It can mean the difference between savoring your remaining years and having positive impact on the lives of your loved ones, or forfeiting those years forever.
