Is it okay for Christians to doubt? When we don't get answers or see God's guiding hand, it's hard to keep praying or walking forward in faith. Difficult times often cloud our perspective. Many Christians confuse doubt with unbelief and are afraid to admit those fears, but God is not threatened by our questions, and doubt does not negate our faith. Our doubts express a yearning to be sure of what-and who-we trust. When our questions are answered by trust, faith is fed and our doubts transform into deeper belief that pushes us toward a decision. 1. When we address doubt head-on our...

The concept has been hijacked by authority who have only their own interests in mind and want everyone else to do it “my way.” We live in a culture and time of applauding “my way”—unless it bumps into our own way. Or, we try to generalize what submission means, isolating Scripture to support our assumptions...

You might have a favorite spiritual season, but you cannot live in it every moment of your life. You can choose to sit and pout about it, or you can use the time given to you, learning the lessons and growing the way God purposes. Every season combines with other seasons to complete a person’s life and purpose on earth. Growth is only possible because of the combination of seasons. We think we can handle our experiences—past,...
