The desire to have and possess will ultimately damage our psyche and keep us from peace…
Avoid a mind that is taken up with the here and now and ends with no regard for the Lord.
There so no other way to God except by the narrow way of the cross of Jesus, the only Saviour.
We put aside all small differences and maintain the bond of peace as the mind of Christ.

Debates rage incessantly, but the knowledge of Jesus and faith in Jesus Christ is the answer to it all…
The suffering of mind illness is by the grace of God and makes us strong and resilient.
We live forever with God in great joy and without Him, paying the price for our own sin.
