“He said, I am like a desert owl of the wilderness, like an owl of the waste places. I lie awake. I am like a lonely sparrow on a housetop. I'm just kind of lonely. Now, thankfully, Jesus answered that sparrow mentality. In the book of Matthew, I love this passage, 10, 29. Jesus speaking to his disciples said,”
David H. McKinley · Loneliness“No, no, Paul said, I need you and I need you to come now. And that's important because Paul took the initiative to identify the very thing that would become destructive in his mind and heart. I say that because when we're lonely, you know what the most likely thing is for us to do? To withdraw. When we're lonely, we start backing out and saying, I'm just so lonely. And it moves us away from the very place that we need to be. the place where we need to be engaged and nothing thrills the enemy more than when we isolate and”
David H. McKinley · Loneliness“saying to me, you may feel lonely, but you're not alone. I'm here. I'm with you. And that's just one instance, and it was a very serious instance in my life. Yes, I did manage to go along and to make a recovery and thank God all of that's in the past. I did from that moment forward have to use a backlit screen because I struggled with light and reading when I preach and teach. But God has met those needs. But I say that to say there have been many other instances that I could”
David H. McKinley · Loneliness“and to look to him. David had to deal with this in his life. David in Psalm 25:16 said, "Turn to me and be gracious to me for I'm lonely and a afflicted. The troubles of my heart are enlarged. Bring me out of my distress. He wrote again in Psalm 102:6. I'm like a desert owl of the wilderness. Like an owl of the waste places, I lie awake. I am like a lonely sparrow on a housetop. Like a”
David H. McKinley · Loneliness“for your body. You need to get sleep. You need to eat. You need to do all those things. And for the rest of us who maybe are thinking, well, I'm sure not lonely. I wish he'd finished this sermon. But for the rest of us, you know people that are lonely, and they need you to care for them. Think of practical ways that you can step into the world of someone who is lonely. One of the greatest things that our deacon ministry does on our Augusta campus,”
David H. McKinley · Loneliness“book sitting on my counter and just looking so lonely. And I'm just like, oh man, I did have this book, didn't I? And I'm just so bad at finishing books. For some reason, like I will start, I have so many books in my room where if you ask me, how many books have you started? I'll say, oh, I can number them. I mean, I've started endless amounts of books. But then if you ask me, how much have you finished. That's another story. But here's the thing. The good thing is God is not like me.”
Lorenzo Rodgers · How to Live with Assurance“life. And you need that and I need that because we're never more vulnerable than when we are isolated. That's why Peter wrote in First Peter 5 and verse 8, "Be sober minded. Be watchful. Your adversary, the devil, prowls like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour." Have you ever watched a documentary on lions? Who do the lions go after? They go after the isolated. They go after the vulnerable. They go after the weak. And I'm telling you, when you are lonely, you are prime”
David H. McKinley · Loneliness“and it's that disconnectedness that so often becomes something that causes us to become very self-depreciating and causes us to feel the isolation. David, I mentioned him earlier in the Psalms said it this way in Psalm 102 verse 6, I am like a desert owl of the wilderness, like an owl of the waste places. I lie awake. I am like a lonely sparrow on a housetop. I'm like that one”
David H. McKinley · Loneliness“it's because of what Christ has done that we can have a relationship with God and that we can know that we are never, never, never alone. So I don't know what you're facing today, but I want you to know there's one, one who is with you and one who loves you. You may today be feeling forgotten, ignored, misunderstood, overwhelmed, but I'm here to tell you today, feel lonely, but you're never alone.”
David H. McKinley · Loneliness“your loving kindness has welcomed me. Though I'm unworthy of majesty, you wrap the lonely in royalty. and I will lay my crowns down at your feet.”
Zach Clinton · Finding Hope Again“and you guys may do it here. I'm not absolutely sure how this translates campus to campus. But we have a group of deacons who every Wednesday night take some of the meals that we prepare on the Augusta campus and take them to shut-ins in our community every week all over the county and I just love the fact that they go and knock on the door and they become a friendly face and a gift that can be given and we do this in a lot of different ways it doesn't just have to be that but I'm saying that to say if you know somebody who's lonely look for a care point and meet a”
David H. McKinley · Loneliness“all of these things can happen to us so what did paul do what do we need to do when we're lonely number one you need to connect with god's church i'm not talking about the building i'm not talking about programs I'm not talking about activities who is the church we are the church so when I say connect with God's church I'm talking about people we need to connect with God's people”
David H. McKinley · Loneliness“everywhere I'm seeing everywhere around me over and over this message. We are living in a lonely world. People are lonely. People are desperate. And loneliness is one of the defining struggles of our generation. Reports have shown that as many as one in five Americans experiences loneliness on a daily basis. The US Surgeon General two years ago reported that half of US adults are experiencing measurable loneliness and chronic social isolation.”
David H. McKinley · Loneliness“wrong with you, with all that's wrong with others, with all the suspicions, and your mind just runs away. One of the greatest imaginations that comes when you're lonely is the whisper of Satan's voice saying, "If you feel alone, you are alone." But I'm here to tell you today, if you know Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior and God as your heavenly father, you are never alone.”
David H. McKinley · Loneliness“when life is bringing disappointment, When future is unsure, we struggle with those issues that can lead to loneliness. But now let's go to the last question, and the one that I'm most eager to get us to, and that is, what should I do when I feel lonely? What should I do when I feel lonely? It's not a sin to feel lonely. Loneliness comes and happens to us, but what should I do? And here's something great. While the Bible is an incredible book of precepts, literal instructions, standards,”

“But I'm here to tell you today, feel lonely, but you're never alone. Father, you see and know every heart in this room. And God, you know the struggles that I can't begin to know or to even express. But Lord, I pray that you would use this time, this moment, this message to be a part of your help, your strength, and your healing in some lonely hearts.”
David H. McKinley · Lonely, But Never Alone“television screen preaching. And it was like God sent my pastor to make a hospital visit in a moment of need. It was a moment of providence. It wasn't an accident. But it was God saying to me, you may feel lonely, but you're not alone. I'm here. I'm with you. And that's just one instance. And it was a very serious instance in my life. Yes, I did manage to go along and to make a recovery. And thank God all of that”
David H. McKinley · Lonely, But Never Alone“I am like a desert owl of the wilderness, like an owl of the waste places. I lie awake. I am like a lonely sparrow on a housetop. I'm like that one little insignificant bird just up there. And that's all that I am. And I can't help but wonder if when Jesus was speaking to his followers and he chose to use the same little icon, the sparrow,”
David H. McKinley · Lonely, But Never Alone“You don't have a food service here, but I'm saying the thing that we need to do is that we realize that loneliness is a vulnerability. therefore, let's find a practical means of touching a life. And then there was a third thing that Paul did, and that is that he concentrated on personal growth. How do I know this? He said, when you come, bring the cloak. And then he said, also the books and especially the parchments. I don't know what the books were, but there were some books that”
David H. McKinley · Lonely, But Never Alone“fantastic time of travel and Bible study together. And while I'm in that neighborhood, let me say that I am now planning and preparing to take a trip to Israel next year during Master's Week, spring break, and I would love to have the privilege of taking you. I'm just making you aware of that. I will tell you that the trip is costly. You might imagine that. And secondly, there's always volatility. But this isn't something we just up and do. You have to plan for it. So”
David H. McKinley · Lonely, But Never Alone“Actress Anne Hathaway said, loneliness is my least favorite thing about life. The thing that I'm most worried about is just being alone without anybody to care for or someone who will care for me. And then Robin Williams, who made the world laugh, said this, I used to think that the worst thing in life was to end up all alone. It's not.”
David H. McKinley · Lonely, But Never Alone“that thing called SAD, seasonal affective disorder. I need sunshine. I need light. I need green plants. I'm just one of those guys. You give me too much twigs and brown grass and cold wind, and I just feel like I just want to curl up and just sort of isolate. Paul said, I need you to come soon, and I need you to come before winter. Why? Because seasonal changes come. Some of you”
David H. McKinley · Lonely, But Never Alone“there are decisions that you have to make that will impact the destinies of other people. And that can be one of the most lonely places in the world. Loneliness is infertility. When you're around a bunch of friends who are all moving on and you feel like you are stuck. Loneliness is being a young man or a young woman who decides I'm going to say no while everyone else around them is saying yes and why not.”
David H. McKinley · Lonely, But Never Alone“on a housetop, but I want you to know Jesus says, your father sees, your father knows, your father cares, and don't you think that he does not value you. Something else that stirs loneliness is not only life circumstances, but changing seasons. I'm talking about literal seasons in life. Go back again to 2 Timothy. Paul is writing, and he's talking about where he is and all that's happened to him.”
David H. McKinley · Lonely, But Never Alone“mattered to Paul. He needed those books. Maybe they were his journals. But the parchments, I'm pretty sure I know what that was. That was the Scriptures. That was whatever little portions of scrolls and Scriptures, maybe that had fragments of Old Testament passages or the Psalms or other things that were there. But the parchments were those treasured pieces of the Word of God. And And Paul knew, I need to have something to direct my mind while my heart is feeling deflated”
