"It seemed very bad to Samuel when they said, "Give us a king to judge us," so he prayed to the LORD." ~1 Samuel 8:6
We are looking for answers: the answer to anxiety; the answer to fear; the answer to meaning; the answer to pain; the answer to grief; the answer to boredom. We look for answers and are presented with potential solutions- but almost never without side effects. Drugs and alcohol will take away the pain and anxiety for a time, but there are consequences. Denying or medicating grief or pain can make the physical or emotional agony bearable in the short term, but does not fix the deeper issues. Is there a solution without side effects? Perhaps. In Christ God offers us an answer to our questions: love. Is love side effect free? should it be? Is it worth it? Join us Sunday and let's explore this together!
