Where I come from, there is no depression. You’re like: What?? I’m not saying this because I went from town to town (or village to village) and took psych evaluations to determine this. I’m speaking (very generally) through experience and personal knowledge of many of my fellow countrymen. Suicide is extremely rare if existent where I come from. One thing I've noticed that is different about America, ever since moving here, is that there is a certain solitude and isolation that one experiences on a daily basis here. I basically think that's why so many people are depressed inside and outside the American church.

Love is patient. Love is kind. Love isn’t jealous. It doesn’t sing its own praises. It isn’t arrogant. It isn’t rude. It doesn’t think about itself. It isn’t irritable. It doesn’t keep track of wrongs. It isn’t happy when injustice is done, but it is happy with the truth. Love never stops being patient, never stops believing, never stops hoping, never gives up. Love never comes to an end. 1 Corinthians 13:4-8
![]() Rejoice in the Lord for your blessings are many! Let us not forget the encounter Jesus had with a rich man in Matthew 19:16-30. In Matthew 19:21 Jesus says,“If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.” Afterwards the rich man leaves unhappy because he owned so many things (which he is supposedly attached to and does not want to give away). Then in Matthew 19:23-24, Jesus says to his disciples, “Truly I tell you, it is hard for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of heaven. 24 Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God.” |
