Mas temos que reconhecer que esse avanço tem acontecido a uma velocidade muito maior do que a capacidade de a Igreja amadurecer.

Tentamos encontrar respostas para tudo, como se nosso raciocínio limitado pudesse esquadrinhar a mente do Senhor. Se algo acontece com alguém, sabemos o porquê; se deixa de acontecer, também temos a resposta.

Whether in struggle, illness, death, or failure, the presence of pain causes us to question the presence of God. We pray and watch the sky, crossing our spiritual fingers for hardcore proof of God's nearness. And in the silence, we sense something more sinister: perceived abandonment. But what if we could collect evidence that God hasn't left us? What if we could be absolutely certain of God's presence and affection, strengthening our faith against any assault? Woven throughout Scripture sits a single, extraordinary theme: God is with us.

Do you desire to walk in the freedom Christ promised when you decided to follow Him? Do you deal with anger, jealousy, envy, pride, and not feeling “good enough?” When you experience hurt, do you build a wall around your heart?
