The reason I write: To promote Christian truth and help Jesus get His Christianity back.

Freedom From Anxiety – Thought #1

by 2 Comments

In referring to God, King David said, “Splendor and majesty are before him; strength and joy are in his dwelling place.” (1 Chronicles 16:27)

And as Jesus said, “Those who love me will keep my word, and my Father will love them, and we will come to them and make our home with them.” (John 14:23)

You can be God’s dwelling place. And where God dwells, there is strength and joy, just what many of us need right now.

God dwells in us via His Holy Spirit. Not as an ethereal concept, but as the actual and living Spirit of God and Jesus, sharing your body with your soul, filling you with strength and joy. Now that’s freedom from anxiety.

I love writing - it gets me out of bed when it's way too dark, just so I can do some writing before heading off to work. I write because I’m passionate about God, Jesus, His Spirit, and His truth. And, I feel the Holy Spirit gets shortchanged in the world we call Christianity. The truth is sometimes lacking too.

    I just finished your book. Very interesting read.

    Have you ever heard about the Baha’i Faith?

    Thank you for your book.

      Hi Phil. Thanks for reading my book. I think I’ve heard of the Baha’i Faith, but I know nothing about it. Maybe I’ll look into it.
