“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”

“vulnerable to loneliness in their lives. We want to be a people who care. And when you care and connect with others, it will help you to move beyond that sense of loneliness. Then we need to concentrate on personal growth. Concentrate on personal growth.

David H. McKinley · Lonely, But Never Alone“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 insulate because we're lonely. What did Peter write in 1 Peter chapter 5 and verse 8? He said, be watchful, be sober-minded. Your adversary, the devil, prowls like a roaring lion seeking someone he may devour.”
David H. McKinley · Lonely, But Never Alone“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.

David H. McKinley · Lonely, But Never Alone“David, I mentioned him earlier, David in Psalm 102 in verse 6 said this about his experience. 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.

David H. McKinley · Lonely, But Never Alone“I'm about to lose this freedom. I've got to go back to school, right? And mom and dad are thinking, I'm about to gain some freedom.

And then there's winter, a season when things are brown and when the trees are barren of leaves, and when the days get shorter and darker, and we struggle with the”
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“the vulnerable. They go after the weak. And I'm telling you, when you are lonely, you are prime target for Satan to come in and to devour your life. That's why that the answer is not to become devoured by your vulnerability, but to find a way to get connected to community. You cannot enter a doorway on any of our Warren campuses without seeing a medallion. And in that medallion, there are four words. It simply says worship, connect, equip, and send. These are the”
David H. McKinley · Lonely, But Never Alone“to hear 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 afflicted. The troubles of my heart are in large. Bring me out of my distress. He wrote again in Psalm 102, verse six, 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”
David H. McKinley · Lonely, But Never Alone“but who gave expression to it. Listen to a couple of these psalms. I just want you to know them. I want you to be aware of them. Psalm 25, 16, David said, turn to me and be gracious to me for I am, what's the word? I'm lonely and afflicted. The troubles of my heart have enlarged, bring me out of my distresses. Listen to Psalm 142 and verse 4, look to the right and see”
David H. McKinley · Lonely, But Never Alone“Paul knew that he still needed to take care of his body. And you know, when we get lonely, we tend to just quit taking care of ourselves. We quit caring. And you need to care 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.”
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“remove wrinkles and increase energy amen I'm up for that one but I'm telling you when life is changing 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.”
David H. McKinley · Lonely, But Never Alone“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 physical need. Number three, not only do we need to take time to connect with the church and care for physical needs, but we have to concentrate on personal growth. Loneliness leads you feeling barren.”
David H. McKinley · Lonely, But Never Alone“Satan looks for people that are isolated, and he comes. That's why so many people allow loneliness to become depressive, loneliness to become an excuse for indulgence in their life. 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?”
