Every year around Black Friday we’re tempted to go along with the crowds that turn the season of celebrating Messiah’s birth into a spending frenzy. In this message on Elijah, we see the prophet take up the spiritual leadership of God’s people after the kings of Judah are seduced into compromising with the gods of the nations that surrounded them. The price of an uncompromised faith always seems high until we see the cost of losing touch with God’s priorities for our lives.
Thank you Ben.. Would you please pray for me. I know that i have depression. Is it wrong to take a pill for anxiety. I am 78 Sincerely Shirley
Shalom, Shirley: I have gone through this issue with beloved friends in the faith. A particular friend of mine worked through this issue with great integrity with his Christian doctor. His medication was of great benefit and allowed him to be a fully functional member of his faith community. I can give witness to the blessings this brought into his life, his family life and for others. May the Lord uphold you in every way, Shirley.
