Please pray for my dear wife Shirley. On Friday, Shirley had a hemorrhagic stroke (a bleed rather than a clot). Shirley is in ICU alert and talking, but with no movement on her left side at this point. This picture is from last week's celebration of our 40th anniversary.

When someone shows forth fruits of repentance (2 Cor. 7:7-13) are we prepared to forgive them, comfort them, and reaffirm our love for them so that they are not overwhelmed by Satan's condemnation (2 Cor. 2:5-11)?

The good news of the gospel is not, “Relax, you rock!” The good news says to believing sinners, “You deserve to be humiliated and condemned for your sin, but God sent his Son to be humiliated and condemned in your place.”

We Are Supposed to Feel Bad About Stuff

So go ahead, take a chance and let yourself feel bad for the bad stuff you’ve done. Own it. Admit it. Turn from it. Then run to Christ.

Biblical counseling is not biblical unless it is loving (Eph 4:15), relational (1 Th 2:7-8), gentle/humble (Gal 6:1), compassionate/comforting (2 Cor 1:3-4; Job 16:1-4), empathetic (Heb 4:14-16; Rom 12:15; 1 Cor 12:25-26), encouraging (Eph 4:29), patiently listening (Prov 18:13).

Empathy is not a secular Trojan Horse. It's a biblical/scriptural concept. Em-pathos: to enter the pathos, the passion of another, to allow another person’s agony to become our agony, to weep with those who weep (Rom 12:15) & suffer with those who suffer (1 Cor 12:24-26).

In the #BibleCn world, we need to be careful about using the phrase "suffer well." This can come across as a "code word" for "don't rock the boat, be a good boy/girl, be quiet." Suffering and sinned against people don't need nouthetic confrontation. They need parakaletic comfort.

What grieves me about Lambert's words is the lack of public challenge to Heath by those in his camp. It's either been silence, or praise, applause, and rejoicing. Does no one in his tribe have eyes to see anything wrong in Heath's words? No support for those Heath spoke against?

Thank you @wesfaulk Powerful summary: "Pastors are not perfect. Behind the smiles, most of us are hurting. As a pastor, I often don’t deal with my issues because, frankly, I don’t want people to know I struggle. I fear that people will use my struggles to come after me."

65! How did that happen? I was only 25 just the other day. If I had more time today, I'd blog: "65 Practical Principles for Primordial People." Here's a pic of my young bride & I enjoying a birthday lunch at Rib City in Fort Myers, FL.
