Very good article, it gives a spirtual perspective on "mental illness."

[F8thNJesus]

This should be a must read for all christians

I whole heartedly agree with the author. I myself have seen many friends that made a decision concerning their life contrary to God's will, but encouraged by others, and then they fell into depression. panic attacks etc. Some ended up on medication , and continued half-heartedly in their christian walk,or others just fell away from the Lord totally.

yes their will be christians that get offended by this article because either they themselves or someone they know have benefitted by one of these antidepressants, but I personally find that when I get offended or proud, that the Holy Spirit is trying to convict me of my proud heart.

I have never understood how with such adverse reactions, that God would tell us to use it for healing. Ever heard of "don't test the Lord thy God." I think that their is no medicine that can make us not sin, and if we have a so called condition that causes us to not produce the fruit of the spirit, and sin, then it's a condition of the spiritual heart, and only the Heavenly Doctor can truly heal it.

Makes for some very interesting reading. People need to be more aware of what goes on out there.

Yes, an interesting article that's for sure. I've never liked or trusted anti-depressants, and that was purely for the reason that I had seen friends get hooked on them and then never able to come off back to normal emotions - the pills create a false set of emotions, and if you aren't careful you won't ever be able to experience true emotion because it isn't like what the pills give.

This country hasn't had a "spiritual compass" since the 1960's...

Unfortunately things probably won't get better until that generation passes. Unfortunately, that won't be for another 13-33 years.

But, the damage they have done to this country may be irreversible.

We have bought into a lie... Not only those outside the church are suffering through this tragedy it is in full swing in the church..

The devil has tricked us into believing the RX are an answer. We have traded off Jesus for a counterfeit..

Since the church has failed to rise up and bring deliverance and teach responsibility for our thoughts and actions, we suffer the consequences..

Too much said???

DELIVERANCE is the answer not drugs...

Legal or illegal

sorry my soap box.. and calling area..

I completely agree with Karen C.

This part hear is what worries me, in regards to us Christians who believe in spiritual warfare:

Andrea Yates, in one of the most horrifying and heartbreaking crimes in modern history, drowned all five of her children

Hab 1:4 Therefore the law is slacked, and judgment doth never go forth: for the wicked doth compass about the righteous; therefore wrong judgment proceedeth.

Great posts everyone, I want to bump this to the top of the forum to see if we can get more insight.
