Growth After Trauma
by Teresia Smith
Ever hear someone repeat the quote, “what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger”? Ever wondered what they are trying to convey by that? I think they are talking about post-traumatic growth. What exactly is that? Well, first let’s deal with what it is not.

Praying for Sinful Brothers
by Sarah Wootten Corinth Missionary Baptist Church
One of the basic truths of the Christian faith is that all sins deserve the punishment of death (Romans 6:23). Because God is holy, just, and righteous, all sin must be punished. No disobedience is small enough to escape God’s wrath. However, John wrote, “If anyone sees his brother committing a sin not leading to death, he shall ask, and God will give him life—to those who commit sins that do not lead to death. There is sin that leads to death; l do not say that one should pray for that. All wrongdoing is sin, but there is sin that does not lead to death,” (1 John 5:16-17, ESV).
So some sins don’t lead to death? Isn’t that a contradiction to Romans 6:23? Initially, we may wonder if John is in agreement with the rest of the Bible, but when we consider the entire letter, the meaning becomes clearer.

Retrieve can be Everything
by Mike Gerry

Addictions and Sexual Assault
by Teresia Smith
Sexual assault affects so many people; however, a majority of sexual assaults are not ever reported to the police. While most perpetrators will not suffer consequences of their actions, survivors can feel their life is held captive by the effects of this trauma, unsure how to break free and return to a normal life.

The Three Witnesses
by Sarah Wootten Corinth Missionary Baptist Church
Two weeks ago, we discussed how Jesus is the promised Messiah from the Old Testament. He fulfills every Old Testament prophecy required of the Savior. Many people from the first century were eyewitnesses to this, and their accounts are written down in the New Testament. However, John tells us in 1 John 5:6-12 that God has given us three other witnesses to testify to the fact that Jesus is the Son of God. These witnesses are the water, the blood, and the Spirit.
