Truth Renewed Ministries

Hello, Friends & Family

We wanted to share an opportunity with you!

Shauna & I met Chris & Carmelita earlier this year at the SBTC Empower Conference after our breakout session on "Evangelism through Biblical Cousneling." After some follow up conversations, they would like to bring biblical counseling into their context, helping equip the saints for the work of ministry by developing a culture of biblical care. We need your help, the body of Christ, with their enrollment costs. Your donations are tax deductible.

To help Chris & Carmelita, check out the link below! Our Level 1 Certification Class begins September 13th.

Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean; wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow. 8 Let me hear joy and gladness; let the bones that you have broken rejoice. 9 Hide your face from my sins, and blot out all my iniquities. 10 Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me. 11 Cast me not away from your presence, and take not your Holy Spirit from me. 12 Restore to me the joy of your salvation, and uphold me with a willing spirit. (Ps. 51:7-12)

There is a profound connection between our sin and our moods. Holiness really does work happiness, and sin spoils everything. David’s words in 51:8 (MT 51:10) reflect these truths. The cry that God would cause him to hear joy and gladness shows that he experiences the woes of sorrow from sin. The request that bones God has crushed might rejoice reveals that God’s heavy hand of discipline has come down on him, crushing his bones. But again, David believes that repentance and confession and petition can result in mercy that cleanses, heals, restores, and rejoices.
