Don't ever be afraid to share your pain with someone when God nudges your heart. It could be that He is leading you to share with that person for a reason.

Tryout 4: Idolatry and Displacement: Redefining the Oedipus Complex
In essence, a psychological literary criticism is a study of how psychological theories can be applied to better understand a literary text. Frequently, psychological criticisms make strong use of Sigmund Freud’s theories when investigating literary texts. This is probably a result of the extensive use of literary texts by Freud himself to test and prove his theories (Lynn 196). Historically, the Holy Bible has been a literary text that has been difficult for the average reader to understand. I wish to illuminate the much debated interpretation of the word hate in Luke 14:26 by redefining the Freudian theory of the Oedipus Complex in terms of projecting one’s yearning for God onto one’s mother.

"AHA!" Moment - Jehovah Jireh
Jehovah Jireh
I have been struggling with worry for the past few weeks. As hard as I tried, I could not stop worrying about my finances. I was feeling so much in despair that I might have to drop out of school to take yet another job in order to provide for my son and myself. I felt like something was going wrong. I started to question God and myself because I had thought that I knew my calling. I had truly believed that I was supposed to be in school getting my education during this season in my life. I did not understand why I was facing this potential change.

Random Wisdom and Funny Stuff #2
It is so amazing that the moment we submit to God's will alone, we begin to see insurmountable barriers blown away. Our faithful God opens up pathways that did not exist so that we may fulfill the mission He has called us to. Thank you God that you equip the called rather than calling the equipped!
A Problem As I See It
At the risk of becoming a pariah, I must now take a stand. I am really weary of the theological/doctrine debates that have been raging around me lately. The question I want to pose is why familiarize ourselves with what influential people say and twist Scripture to fit their doctrine?
