DEPRESSION: CAUSE AND EFFECTS

Depression is nothing strange. People at different level experience it as a result of different circumstances, and in different areas of existence. It is no respecter of status and gender. Whether rich or poor, middle-class or lower-class, male or female etc. we are all prone to it and if you’re honest enough, at least with yourself as you check out the following situations and others I’d be showing as we journey in this discourse, if you identify with them, you’d realize, even if you didn't know before, that you had, are suffering, or likely to suffer depression. Let’s take a little imagination tour.

DAIRY OF A SEX ADDICT

                                                                            

A leopard can’t change its spots. This old saying is true of leopards, but is it also true of 

people? Particularly those with sexual spotted lives? . . . .Many times we hear “You’ll never 

change”. Many females hear, “you are a bad seed”. .. Do you think it’s possible for people to change? The bible says, “With God all things are possible” (Matthew 19:26). Even if we feel that our minds and hearts are defiled, Lets also remember that our God is our Redeemer------he is our deliverer  “You have delivered my soul from death, my eyes from tears, my feet from stumbling; I will walk before the lord in the land of the living (psalm 116:8-9)

VICTORY OVER LIFE ASUNDER

"God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can,and the wisdom to know the difference". Reinhold Niebuhr

 Suicide is a dark topic. The church sees it as a sin. Starting in the Middle Ages the law made it a crime. Then suicide passed to the mental health profession. So, what is suicide? Sin? Crime? Mental Illness? All three?
