David Otten: You can take the teeth out of your stress

Stress is a common concern; it can be detrimental to one's health, mental state and spiritual life, yet stress can also have positive results, such as pushing you forward to complete a job. Stress can be managed whether you are a Christian or not. Stress management classes, both Christian and non-Christian, will have several similarities, but I believe the Christian has resources available to them that non-Christians do not. Note the following stress reducers:

Cris Corzine-McCloskey: Blessed are the broken and the screw-ups!

I don't think there is any greater miracle than a stubborn, prideful person bending his/her knee to God. Luckily, with my job, that's a miracle I see on a regular basis. Why? I am the one people come to when they have run their lives off into a ditch. It's funny how a colossal blunder makes us aware of our need for God.

Matters of faith: We can have a glorious future in Jesus Christ

During his first Roman imprisonment, the Apostle Paul wrote a letter to the Church at Colossae. In that letter he said, "We always thank God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, when we pray for you, since we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and of the love that you have for all the saints, because of the hope laid up for you in heaven. "Of this you have heard before in the word of the truth, the gospel, which has come to you, as indeed in the whole world it is bearing fruit and growing -- as it also does among you, since the day you heard it and understood the grace of God in truth." (Col. 1:3-7 ESV).

Corzine-McCloskey: What forgiveness is, and what it isn't

I believe forgiveness is one of the most misunderstood concepts in the Christian faith. We know we are supposed to do it. Indeed, it is a mandate (Matthew 6:15). But it's a command often ignored. Many have told me they believe they have to forget to forgive. I've had others tell me they think forgiveness means they have to restore the relationship with someone who is toxic or dangerous. With those standards, I can see why people have quit trying to forgive.

Corzine-McCloskey: Who cares about the linen closet? You have relationships to tend to

Last week, I introduced "plank-in-eye syndrome." This syndrome is the tendency to believe the things we do are right or justifiable, but not extending that to others (see Matthew 7:3-5).

David Otten: Mothers and motherhood are blessed by God

Mothers and motherhood are blessed and designed by God. Depending on the translation, the word mother is used 250 times in the Bible and I didn't count the number of God-fearing women who in that vocation as a mother served their Lord, family and people as only a mother can do.
