Confronting the moments when we think, act, respond, and make decisions as if God were not real and present in our lives.
God wants us to evaluate ourselves by how deep and strong our faith is. He doesn’t evaluate our spiritual condition by looking at how we appear on the surface. The depth of our faith determines how much of a difference we can make in the lives of those around us.
Guilt is overwhelming, but God can free us from it. We must learn how to deal with guilt biblically so that we don’t get overwhelmed by the stress, anxiety, and emotionalism it causes.
There are many things that aim to undermine our faith: our guilt, different diagnoses, depression, anxiety, fear, and various circumstances. God wants to build our faith and confidence to be so strong it can handle anything thrown our way.
When we get burned out by the exhaustion of our human efforts, we will soon leave the church, and in time, leave God as well.
The best and truest measure of intimacy with God is when we see him move in answer to a prayer.
