Questions/Issues Discussed:

How many Americans suffer from one or more mental illness?

How does the CRC conduct their survey? How many people are questioned? What questions are asked?

More and more Millennials are being diagnosed with a mental health illness. Additionally, the majority do not hold a Biblical worldview. How does this affect their lifestyle and mental health? Is the same true for Baby Boomers?

Did the Covid Pandemic have an extremely negative impact on peoples’ mental health?

Discussed by Dr. Adam Rasmussen
with Cultural Research Center (www.arizonachristian.edu/culturalresearchcenter/)

Questions/Issues Discussed:

Many adult Americans struggle with alcohol or drug addictions. How do theses addictions affect a persons’ mental health?

Those who hold a Biblical Worldview are not immune from mental health illness. However, overall, they are able to overcome anxiety, depression, and fear with God’s help and the help of faith-filled friends and family. What can we do to help others?

If we are personally struggling with mental health issues, what can we do?

What is the solution to American’s mental health crisis?

If you or someone you know is in a mental health crisis, please call the National Suicide Hotline at 1.800.273.8255. You can also call 988 for immediate help from someone trained in suicide prevention.

How will God respond to the beast?

What awaits believers in Heaven? To explain, Mark uses the process of a traditional Jewish wedding as an illustration.

What awaits non-believers at the End Times? Will those with the Mark of the Beast meet judgment? Will Babylon be judged?

QUESTIONS / ISSUES DISCUSSED:

WARNING: Sin is Deceptive (1 Peter 5:5)

Bryan Chappell: “There is no human wall so high, no human accomplishment so great, that it is secure against the judgment of God.”

ENCOURAGEMENT: God is in Control

Why did God give warning after warning to people about following Babylon and the ways of the world? (Isaiah 47:8-11)

How can we know, without a shadow of a doubt, that God is fully in control?


FINAL THOUGHTS:

Remember: God is in total control. Stay faithful while living in Babylon.

If you have never accepted Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior, text the word JESUS to 77069 and a pastor or counselor from CFBC will call you back.

PRAYER

Discussed by Terry Lowry
with Host of the What's UP Radio Program

Heavenly Father,

I surrender my all to you today, Lord, for you are my God. I give you my thoughts, my desires, my wants, and my needs.

Search me, O God, and know my heart. Try me and know my thoughts. I lift my hands to you in total surrender.

Teach me your precepts. Open my eyes to understand your ways. Lead me on the path of your commandments. May I delight in following your way and not the way of the world.

In these dark days, I will remember your name, O Lord, for you are my salvation.

Your steadfast love overwhelms me. I purpose to follow you all the days of my life.

Here I am Lord, surrendered and crying out to you. Hear my humble plea.

Thank you, Father God, for your son, Jesus Christ, in whose name I pray,

Amen
