 Dr. Peter Robbins, Ph.D.
How long, Lord, must I call for help, but you do not listen? Or cry out to you, “Violence!” but you do not save? Why do you make me look at injustice? Why do you tolerate wrongdoing? Destruction and violence are before me; there is strife, and conflict abounds. - Habakkuk 1:2-3 Scripture as a Weapon In I Corinthians 11:3 we are told...

Have you ever been a relationship that didn't go well? How about the one you're in right now? Is it working for you? How about someone you care about and their relationship with someone else. Does it hurt just to watch them be together? In this short video Dr. Robbins will show you three kinds of relationships. Two that are high maintenance and one that isn't.
 by Frances J. Harvey, Director of Operations, Turning Point Counseling Each year at this time you don’t have to drive far to see someone standing on a corner with a big sign pointing in the direction of a tax service wanting your business – and this year is no exception. Every day on my journey to work as I reach a certain corner, THERE HE IS – dancing on the corner swinging the big sign , not to mention being dressed up in a bright green outfit that resembles the statue of Liberty! Each morning as I drive by I tend to chuckle and think, that must be such a drag of a job!  by Dr. Larry J. Walkemeyer, Lead Pastor at Light and Life Christian Fellowship, Long Beach. Pastor Larry writes in response to Fridays tragedy in Connecticut.

What does Peace on Earth, Good Will to Men REALLY mean? Peace = A state of harmony, free from disturbances Goodwill = Favor or advantage Does this imply the world should be a peaceful place and all mankind should have a favored life? The world certainly doesn’t seem to be a peaceful place and I don’t know anyone who isn’t affected by the economy these days, yet the message of the Bible is peace and love. So what does this all mean? Well according to the angels in Luke 2:14, - they were declaring peace to those on whom His favor rests!  by Frances J. Harvey, Director of Operations
The season has changed, we are officially in Fall! It’s one of my favorite times of the year. The leaves are a blast of colors – reds, yellows, and greens. As they fall, the trees go barren, digging into the soil for a long winter, waiting to gather their energy for Spring time. Have you noticed, it’s dark outside at 5 o’clock! As I drive home at the end of the day, the sun is no longer lighting my way. Now headlights and street lights guide my way. The traffic is heavy. It is also colder now, and…  by Frances J.

Ever feel like life is just one BIG race and you can't seem to catch up or keep up? I sure do! Recently, life has been rather hectic and challenging in the last several months and I just feel like I am losing control and it's slipping away! With ALL of the busy tasks we have, responsibilities and brain input...we get lost or overwhelmed. Then we start worrying about all the "things" we have to do in life and before you know it we have completely left today! A friend of mine (and a good accountability partner) has been encouraging me to take some "me" time every day. Really it is more like "GOD" time, but God time turns into me time!  by Dr. Kevin Downing, Turning Point Counseling
It was over twenty years ago that I had my first job working at a Psychiatric Hospital. A young 16 year old gal came to the hospital after trying to kill herself through a drug overdose. I was assigned to be her counselor and we hit it off very well until her family came to visit. During our first family counseling session her mother, step-father and aunt all had nose bleeds. I thought this was so unusual and wondered how three adults could have this happening at the same time (I was so naive!!!).  by Frances J. Harvey, Director of Operations Turning Point Counseling
Have you ever been in a situation that made you get in someone’s face, scream at the top of your lungs and complain how unfair or wrong it was and let it been known “You are upset”? I am almost positive that at some point everyone has had that experience. I want to share some great tools on “how to handle” complaining in a positive way and get something accomplished as well.  by Maisha Florance, M.A. Registered Marriage and Family Therapist Intern with Turning Point Counseling
Suzie and Sam are constantly fighting. They have what I call “rightitis” and this condition makes you deaf and blind to the validity of the feelings of others. It is very harmful to relationships it literally cuts off the bloodline which is open and honest communication, eventually causing the relationship to die. In my professional life I meet couples like Suzie and Sam all the time, and most often by the time they are in my office the relationship is in critical condition. I usually open with this: “You know I have no problem with you fighting, as a matter of fact a fair fight every now and then is a good thing - it keeps us passionate”. |
