Domestic Violence, Mental Health and Substance Abuse
by Rebecca Hieronymi
Domestic violence can have devastating effects on a person’s mental health and those effects can be amplified when the victim also struggles with substance use. When an individual is experiencing a mental health crisis or substance use disorder, they are at greater risk of being controlled by an abusive partner. Abusive partners may try to undermine a victim’s mental health or substance use disorder treatment and recovery by preventing or discouraging them from getting help or taking prescriptions. These abuse tactics can increase a victim’s depression, PTSD symptoms, substance use, and suicidality.

Do Not Be Surprised
by Cody Anderson Corinth Missionary Church
This is a good time to remember some of the over arching themes that we see in First John, mainly between light and darkness, love and hatred, truth and falsehood. These were all issues concerning the early Christian community to whom The Epistle of First John was written. These stark contrasts are ways to evaluate our spiritual well-being. Each end of the spectrum represents two totally different souls. Those who love, hold to truth and share the light, can rest on this evidence of their faith. The ones who hate, lie, and cling to the darkness have evidence of a dead soul. The text we are looking at is contrasting love and hate.

A Tale as Old as Time
by Cody Anderson Cornith Missionary Baptist Church
If you’ve been following along with the articles, you may have noticed that John has become very repetitive with the thought of loving one another. Last week’s article talked about there being two spiritual fathers and how their respective offspring are a reflection of their true spiritual father. Again, in these two simple verses, we will see what it means to love and how that relates to the Father.

Connection and Loneliness
by Teresia Smith
Recently someone who was going through a stressful time mentioned to me that they didn’t have anyone in which they truly could confide. I asked about the friends they socialize with and about the many social media contacts they have and they just shrugged and said no. There have been many people over the years who have expressed loneliness to me, even though they appear to be well connected online. Social media has made us feel linked with the world but in reality, those are not true relationships. Our world seems very connected, though in reality, more than ever before, we are further isolated. So, what exactly is loneliness and how did we get here?
