No Way Out

No Way Out
Fight, Freeze, or Flight
Abstract
Christians are in the world but not part of it. As such, there are many possible sources of stress. This article offers an idea to trust God indirectly. This non-intuitive technique does not focus on the stress factor but on God.
Introduction
Sometimes, there seem to be more reasons to live in fear and worry than to be relaxed, doing what we can, and trusting that the rest will work out.

Burdened
We all have burdens from time to time. Sometimes, the burden is heavy and overwhelming; we cannot foresee a good way out. This is where a friend or prayer partner is helpful. The Bible speaks highly of good friends.
(Pro 18:24 GNB) Some friendships do not last, but some friends are more loyal than brothers.
Some believers regularly schedule time in prayer. Nearly all believers turn to God when their burden is too heavy for them to carry. Mr. Berdind Beleever, hereafter Mr. B, has heavy burdens. He has accepted tasks in several areas of life with the best of intentions, although he has yet to learn how he could accomplish some. Additionally, Mr. B has felt confident in his ability to make things better in other areas. But his belief and sincere intention only sometimes coincide, falling short of his hoped-for outcome. So Mr. B struggles to cope with the burdens, which seem to grow heavier. Mr. B needs help. One afternoon, he goes to a place of prayer. He knows God can help, and with a tear or two, he cries out to Jesus for help. He has chosen to trust in God and act on the following verse to the best of his ability.

Preface
A previous weblog (blog), “messiah,” became an article. After carefully considering the article, it coalesced into two subjects: advice to all Christians active in the faith and cult error. This website is intended for Christians eager to move forward. This website is not intended to comment on cult errors.

Get Ready
Suppose you were invited to speak to a group of Christians as a teacher, preacher, or evangelist. What would you do to prepare? Christian concepts you have been researching can be an appropriate topic. Jesus faced major spiritual battles, and He was always prepared. HE was without sin, and yet He prepared.
(Joh 17:19 NRSV) And for their sakes I sanctify myself, so that they also may be sanctified in truth.
Jericho, Light, and You
October 5, 2023: Edit (Original Post: September 2023)
My advice to everyone, believers and unbelievers, is to find a good church and attend their main service each week. If God is involved, and I think He is, you really do not know what can happen - when He moves.
On a Sunday morning early in 2023, I sit in the audience enjoying the worship music. Regardless of how you explain worship music, it can direct our hearts and minds toward God, - - and - - lead to an authentic experience of God that is best described as worship.
