The term for it is trauma, but what is the opposite?What word would describe a positive emotional state that lingers for decades in response to a single event? There is no opposite of trauma, because no single good event has such a lasting impact.” (Tierney, John. The Power of Bad (p. 7). Penguin Publishing Group. Kindle Edition. )But is that ultimately true?Is there nothing we can call the opposite of trauma?How does the Resurrection of Jesus Christ fit into that picture?

“Prayer is asking God to incarnate, to get dirty in your life. Yes, the eternal God scrubs floors. For sure we know he washes feet. So take Jesus at his word. Ask him. Tell him what you want. Get dirty. Write out your prayer requests; don't mindlessly drift through life on the American narcotic of busyness. If you try to seize the day, the day will eventually break you. Seize the corner of his garment and don't let go until he blesses you. He will reshape the day.” – Paul E. Miller, A Praying LifePosted March 24, 2020

What is, by far, God's most frequent command?

This is the first audio podcast (6:55 min.) from Liberty Church of Cosby during these days of social-distancing because of the COVID-19 virus. Churches are increasing their online presence through audio and video, and we are glad to do the same.This audio includes an open letter from a pastor in the Wuhan province of China. It is dated January 23, 2020 with encouraging words from someone living in the midst of what we are beginning to experience in America. My hope is that we can experience the same comfort and hope he writes so eloquently about. We look forward to being together very soon. Until then, we want to keep in touch with our church folks and invite you to let us know how you are doing.Posted March 18, 2020
