By

Proverbs 16:24 (ASV) Pleasant words are as a honeycomb, Sweet to the soul, and healing to the bones.  Perhaps you haven’t thought about reading aloud to your tween or teen now that she can read on her own. Those years of cuddling together on the couch or in the bed and reading story after story may seem like a distant memory. But wait!

Guilt has the power wreck us, but God’s grace always has the upper hand when we yield to His truth. Those guilty feelings we all face are either a result of condemnation spewed on us by the enemy or godly conviction that comes from the Holy Spirit who desires to lead us into right living (Romans 8:1, John 14:26, John 16:7-8 NLT).

Real Question: How Do I Overcome People Thinking I’m Shy?

By

Recently, a young reader asked this question, “People seem to talk and chat so easily, but I don’t. People think I am shy, or don’t care about what they are saying, but that’s not the reason. I simply don’t know what to do or say. What do I do?”   A few years ago I went on a short-term mission trip with a group of people from my church.
