Give It Up!

— 15 May, 2022

I recently had a conversation with one of my favorite people in the world about giving things over to God. There is no question that God is ready willing and able to take our burdens from us. Just read the Bible and you will find overwhelming evidence that this is God’s plan so that we can live a peaceful life during our short time here on solid ground. In Phil. 4:6,7, we read, “Be anxious over nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. If the truth be known, most Christians will acknowledge that they should and do give their worries over to God. If that is true, why then do I come in contact with so many anxious, worried, troubled and distraught believers? The answer lies in our ability to totally, completely, and unequivocally give it up to God. If we give over our burdens to God and we are still anxious, then we have not truly trusted God. It is 100% or nothing. God is fully able and willing to carry your cares. Give it up!

“Pastor Sal, So glad you were available to provide the message “Christians Counseling Each Other” last Sunday. What a powerful and timely message straight from the heart of God. We were very well fed! Thank you so much. In terms of your message’s relevance for churches, I would say it’s right up there as one of the top five need-to-know “truths” that every church needs to hear, take to heart, and implement.

Since I am constantly attempting to balance and improve my life, I have seen many counselors and coaches spanning a period of almost forty years and Sal is one of the best. As a business coach, Sal comes equipped with the personal experience, knowledge, and wisdom of how to succeed in business. His approach is easy yet straight forward and to the point. His diverse background has given him a multifaceted approach to coaching and he keeps it all balanced on a biblical foundation.

Pastor Sal visited us recently and shared a message on the importance of Christians counseling each other in a Biblical way. This is a message that every Christian needs to hear. Using practical applications of Biblical truths, real life examples, humor, and overhead media, Sal’s message was clear and concise. Counseling others can be easier than we think and fruitful as long as we follow God’ s Word. We look forward to Pastor Sal’s next visit.

Being the keynote speaker at our annual prayer breakfast, Sal absolutely exceeded our expectations. As a Kiwanian for forty years, I had never heard anyone make the comparisons between our objectives and verses from the bible. It was great!
