Stress and African Americans: A Daily Devotion A little knowledge about stress and its effect on health benefits everyone. It is estimated by the American Institute of Stress, that 75% to 90% of all doctor’s visits are caused by reactions to stress. This article discusses the impact of stress on African Americans and offers a daily devotion to overcome its harmful impact. What's Killing African-Americans? “Unfortunately the legacy that we’ve inherited is not encouraging. Had the church wholeheartedly embraced Paul’s teaching, it would not have kept its tragic silence or participated in some of the great evils of the past two thousand years. In fact, many of them probably could have been avoided, or at least resisted, had Christians paid careful attention to Romans 9-11.” (Author Unknown) This article examines several factors that encourages the death of African-Americans Encouraging Hope for Substance Abusers and their Families Over the past 40 years, drug use has worked over-time to gain a grip on our society. What was once a past-time for those singing the blues or recovering from an illness, has now become an addiction, destroying the lives of individuals, families and communities. This article provides information for individuals, familiies and ministries coping with the struggles of substance abuse and dependency. Strategies for a Successful Marriage For the past 20+ years, I have been providing Christian counseling to broken homes, individuals, relationships and marriages. Every week, I am confronted with sad stories of marriages ending in divorce or marriages that the wives are victims of domestic violence. The purpose of this article is to share what I have learned about elements of a successful marriage. I truly believe that most teaching concerning marriage is helpful but inadequate and falls short of teaching what is necessary to have a successful marriage. In this spirit, I offer two recommendations that are crucial to having a successful marriage with which no committed Christian would find fault. Growing Through Adversity & Plagues “Dr. Scott, I am in pain. I was diagnosed with cervical cancer two years ago and I was told that I needed surgery. I was too afraid to go through the surgery and last month, my doctors told me that the cancer had spread to my stomach. I am here today because I have pain, no place to live and I am depressed. I was staying with a family, but they kicked me out. My two children refuse to take me in and they want nothing to do with me; because they blame me for the sexual abuse my husband committed against our daughter. My husband is the father of our daughter’s child and the kids blame me. Can you help me?” Living Life On A Rollercoaster:Managing Diabetes Most people are unaware that diabetes is not a new disease. Some scientists feel that diabetes has been around since the beginning of man. An argument for this could be made since a physician named Hesy-Ra first mentioned records of diabetes as early as 1552 B.C. Written on Egyptian papyrus during the 3rd dynasty, he described diabetes as a problem of frequent urination. Saving A Christian Marriage From Divorce:Ten Things You Should Know Recently, it was stated that: “While it may be alarming to discover that born again Christians are more likely than others to experience a divorce, that pattern has been in place for quite some time. Even more disturbing, perhaps, is that when those individuals experience a divorce many of them feel their community of faith provides rejection rather than support and healing. But the research also raises questions regarding the effectiveness of how churches minister to families. The ultimate responsibility for a marriage belongs to the husband and wife, but the high incidence of divorce within the Christian community challenges the idea that churches provide truly practical and life-changing support for marriages.” Barea Research Group AIDS in Black America Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) is a disease that is killing a lot of people but, especially African-American people . AIDS was first reported in the United States in 1981. More than 500,000 cases of AIDS have been reported in the United States since that time, and as many as 900,000 Americans may be infected with Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV). Currently, 40,000 new cases of AIDS are diagnosed annually. Domestic Violence:The Problem We Refuse To Face Domestic violence can be defined as a pattern of behavior in any relationship that is used to gain or maintain power and control over an intimate partner. This behavior may consist of but not limited to, domestic violence, partner abuse, and battering (physical, emotional, sexual, psychological abuse performed by one person against another). The abuser and the victim are involved in or have had an intimated or romantic relationship.
