    Helping a family member with mental illness

    Thanks everyone for your advice. I have talked to other family members and am now aware that this behavior has been going on for 50+ years.

    How can I help a very close family member with what I perceive could be mental illness, when the person does not see anything wrong in what they are doing and becomes angry and turns it around on you when you try to address the issue?

    Just found Jesus but had an intense experience!.

    It was a quiet moment for me, early one morning while laying in bed I was led to pray and gave my lid to the Lord. At times this has made me doubt my salvation because it wasn’t a big emotional, loud, bring you out of a huge life trial kind of thing. When I feel like that I am always reminded...

    Moses and the bronze serpent relating to Christ on the Cross

    I had a thought the other day about Moses and the bronze serpent; how the people looked at the serpent to be healed after being bitten and how that points to Christ on the cross forgiving our sins.

The worry started to take over; he went to the doctor about it several times, tried meds, nothing made it go away. It changed his demeanor; he was starting to...
