God's Encouraging Word: True Comforts When Wordly Advice Fails

We live in a society of self-help quotes and books that offer temporary solutions to long-term problems. These phrases offer little boosts of confidence but don’t fix the underlying issue—the need for a Savior to lean on and find support in.
