Are you Becoming More Like Jesus? Take This Spiritual Growth Survey to Find Out
How do you know if growing spiritually? Most people mistakenly measure behavior or their emotions. This Survey will help you look at if you’re being changed on the inside to become more like Christ.

Christlikeness is about steady, reliable character.

For all of human history people have wrestled with this question of why God allows suffering. Much of the pain and suffering that we experience or see others going through is undeserved.

Check out this Bible study to consider what the Bible teaches about pain and suffering. #encouragement #depression #trustgodintrials #transformation #doubts Welcome To The Group, History People, Christian Prayers, Human History, Spiritual Health, Bible Prayers

Trusting God's Love When You're Not Healed
God is lovingly caring for us — even if the healing we pray for doesn’t happen. Don’t think your prayers or faith failed because God did not heal as you asked. Actually, the opposite may be the truth. It may be that we are persevering with great faith in God and his sweet sufficiency. If you’re waiting on God for healing personally or for a loved one, the Lord does not want you to feel embarrassed or inadequate. He is pleased with your persevering trust. #soulshepherding #healingprayer #trust

Trust in God vs. Seeking Clarity
It’s a blessing when we do have clarity, but often we don’t and striving for clarity puts our attention off of the greatest blessing of all which is that the risen Christ is in our midst right now, wonderfully at work, and we can join his work, learning from him and loving the people around us in his name. When we’re obsessing about getting clarity from God on a decision we may be using him as a device rather than worshiping him as Divine. #hearinggod #godswill #trust #ventureongod #decisions

The 18 Most Common Misinterpretations from the Bible that Damage Our Souls
In my 30 years as a Christian psychologist I've talked to many people who have been spiritually harmed by their family or church community. Most commonly, they picked up a toxic faith with crazy Christian beliefs that were damaging to their relationship with God and their life. Others were abused by a Christian parent or leader. Usually the ungodly and unhealthy influence came with apparent support from the Bible. Check out these 18 Biblical blunders that bruise and confuse. #biblestudy #healing
