I don’t know about you, but I’ve walked through some difficult experiences in life – from losing my parents, broken relationships and financial trials, to trauma and health scares.
John 10:10 reminds us that we have an enemy who seeks to steal, kill and destroy. Yet Jesus came so that we might have life and have it abundantly. Time and time again, I see people held in bondage by trauma and sin. Although God has redeemed us, working out our salvation and discipleship is a continuous journey.
Across the world, people are increasingly engaging in “new-age” practices – though none of them are truly new. While some may view them as harmless, they can significantly affect the church and how we care for others. You’ve probably heard the saying that the church is a hospital for the sick – and it’s true. But healing often takes time, and unhealed wounds can lead to division among people, within the church, and even internally.
