You don't need answers, you need RESOLVE.

Life happens. Sometimes it’s good, sometimes it’s not. Sometimes it’s an unexpected blessing, sometimes it’s an unfortunate loss. Sometimes it’s welcoming a new child into your home, sometimes it’s losing a loved one. No matter what, we have reason to stay confident toward God knowing that he only has good plans for us.

When the bad things happen we tend to seek answers. How we see God will color what kind of answers we seek and which kinds of questions we’ll ask in the first place.

It’s fine to have questions but you really don’t need answers, you need resolve. Resolve over the character of God. Before you arrive at your conclusions about God and the circumstance you find yourself in, make sure you are standing firmly on the true character of God.

Examine Yourself to Find Faith Not Sin

Examine Yourself to Find Faith Not Sin

Toxic Christianity encourages self-examination that keeps one bound by guilt and shame. Toxic self-examination is comes from a misunderstanding of Paul’s admonishment of the church at Corinth. Because of this misunderstanding, millions of Christians for ages have been deprived the power of Communion.

Have you ever not taken communion because you committed a sin that week and you were afraid something bad might happen if you took it? Have you ever been told to examine yourself and see if your heart was right with God before taking communion? Have you ever believed that you might go to hell for taking communion with sin in your life? Those are all horrendous heresies that place the focus on the believers works-righteousness rather than on the body of Christ and what he went through on our behalf.

Which Eyes Are You Using?

Which Eyes Are You Using?

You have two sets of eyes, the ones in your head and the ones in your heart. The eyes in your head see the outer world while the eyes of your heart can see God. However, the eyes of your heart can also focus on your outer world, which is not a good thing.

The obvious goal is to keep the eyes of your heart focused on God, who lives in you and is not separate from you. This is walking by faith, this is how you look not at the world but at the unseen, this is how you set your heart on things above, this is how you have great faith, and this is how you stay in perfect peace. The list goes on and on, I bet you can find several more.
