Biblical Answer

Understanding the Struggle of Christians

As Christians, we are not immune to struggles and challenges. In fact, the Bible teaches us that we will face difficulties and temptations, just as Jesus faced them during his time on earth. One of the key resources available to struggling Christians is a regular study of the Bible, which is God's communication to us. This means setting aside time each day to read, reflect, and apply the teachings of Scripture to our lives.

Additional Resources for Struggling Christians

In addition to a regular study of the Bible, there are several other resources available to help struggling Christians. These include Christian books, online ministries, and fellowship with other believers. For example, Walter Martin Ministries (www.waltermartin.com) offers a wealth of information and resources on Christian apologetics and discipleship. Another helpful resource is Walter Martin's book, "Essential Christianity," which provides a comprehensive overview of the basics of the Christian faith. Additionally, Jan Carol Van Baalen's book, "The Chaos of the Cults," can be a valuable resource for those struggling with spiritual deception and false teaching.

Practical Help and Support

Finally, struggling Christians need to know that they are not alone, and that there is practical help and support available. The Bible teaches us that we are called to fellowship with other believers, and to support one another in times of need (Hebrews 10:24-25). This means being part of a local church community, where we can find encouragement, guidance, and support from other believers. It also means being willing to serve and help others, just as Jesus served and helped others during his time on earth. By seeking out these resources and supporting one another, we can overcome our struggles and grow in our faith as Christians. As the Bible says, "For God did not give us a spirit of fear, but of power and love and self-discipline" (2 Timothy 1:7). With the right resources and support, we can face our struggles with confidence and hope.
