Depression and Anxiety

A team mate of my favorite team the Dallas Cowboys Marshawn Kneeland passed away. He took his life. I wanted to talk about this to raise awareness about mental health, depression, suicide, and anxiety. I also used to struggle with anxiety and depression so I wanted to share my experience. I want to clarify that this is not intended to substitute a professional. So if you're struggling with anxiety and depression it's better to call a godly professional or the suicide hotline and thats not me. I'm just going to share a few experiences and scriptures but I know that some of you are hurting out there. You're tired and confused. I'm just here to tell you

Jesus said come to Him all that our weary and heavy Laden. He gives rest

The Bible says God has not given us a spirit of fear

-Matthew 6:25

Revelation 21:8
King James Version
8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.
John 16:33
King James Version
33 These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.


The Bible says depression and anxiety is sin

We're commanded to have joy and not fear. Joy is a fruit of the Spirit:

Suicide is sin. It's self murder and not enduring to the end. We have to endure to the end to be saved. Suicide is Unforgivable and you will go to hell.

I struggled with depression and anxiety when I used to do drugs. I had panic attacks. I was lost and depressed

and the Lord set me free and gave me unspeakable joy and peace that i didn't even know could exist He can do the same for you

The Gospel

Image
The gospel is just a message that means the good news. The Bible says God is all powerful and is holy and just and He has appointed and day when He will judge the world in righteousness. All of us will stand to give an account before this God to answer for every thought, word, and deed.  The bad news is that man has free will and brought sin and death into the world because of disobedience. The Bible says all of us sinned in the past which makes us guilty before a holy God. If you've had lust in your heart, told a lie, put anything or anyone before God, if you've stolen anything, or if you've broken one of the ten commandments then that's sin and the Bible says the unrighteous will not inherit the Kingdom of God. All sinners will go to hell and be cast into the lake of fire for eternity in eternal torment in fire and brimstone and weeping and gnashing of teeth in utter hopeless doom and if you're a sinner you aren't saved and you don't know God Romans 3:23 K...

The Bible V. Evolution

Image
Evolution is a popular teaching taught in public schools which is contrary to biblical teaching and ruins people faith in God and causes a lot of bad behavior. If you teach man is evolved primates they behave like one. Evolution teaches that over billions of years man evolved essentially from Amebas into small life forms and then into animals or humans. The Bible teaches that we come from Adam and Eve and that humans and animals are different: 39 All flesh is not the same flesh: but there is one kind of flesh of men, another flesh of beasts, another of fishes, and another of birds. 40 There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another. 41 There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for one star differeth from another star in glory. -1 Corinthians 15:39-41 Who are you going to believe? There's no middle ground. Even Theistic Evolut...

Easy Believism is Heresy

Image
Many people are denying repentance as an essential doctrine. Teaching it only means a change of mind. This is heresy. It means change of mind but it leads to a change of action. This is a heresy called easy believism and antinomianism which is very common and popular in Evangelical Denominations. The first one that made this teaching popular was Jack Hyles who was a false teacher who had scandals in his Church and pedophiles that molested children because he taught it was OK to live in sin: Accusations of sexual abuse and improper sexual behavior against Jack Hyles, former pastor of First Baptist Church of Hammond and founder of Hyles-Anderson College, have been widely reported. While Hyles himself denied many of these charges, and a police investigation in 1993 concluded there was "no investigation" of him or the church at that time, several other legal and journalistic outcomes have shed light on the pervasive nature of these allegations and related events:  * Lawsuits and ...
