The church of the Bible was dynamic, powerful, and life-changing. So why has church attendance today been declining?
When we have the certainty that God loves us completely for who we are, we can be satisfied no matter what.
God wants us to both have our own happy and satisfying life and to help others have an opportunity for that life, too.
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.
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.
