What does Philippians 4:4 mean, i.e. to always rejoice in the Lord? What does it mean to talk to ourselves and not listen to ourselves?In this episode of Christian Life Issues for Today, Dr. Wayne Mack discusses how depression can be defeated by understanding what rejoicing in the Lord means, as well as what it does not mean.  The saving work of Jesus Christ, the enabling power of the Holy Spirit and the strength of the Lord is discussed thoroughly regarding our fight against depression. Is overcoming depression as simple as pretending our problems are not that bad? Does it mean that we just need to scrape enough will power together to overcome it? Is sorrow the same as depression? All of this and much more is discussed in this thorough episode.
