They worship me in vain, teaching as doctrines human commands. (Mathew 15: 9)

My life always seemed stable, with security and financial support from my family and then from my husband. My life always seemed stable, with security and financial support from my family and then from my husband.

I was married and had two children, and I lived a comfortable life with no apparent need.
However, there was a void inside me whose name and reason I did not know.

I was raised on traditional Christian principles and memorized prayers without a living relation.
I never thought I needed God more than I had.
When I met women whose lives seemed different, I saw a light that attracted me.

They used to talk about God as a close, present person, not as a distant idea.

They had invited me to a Bible study group, and my understanding began to change.
I realized that faith is a relationship, and that God wants to be known.
When I was called to accept Jesus, I thought I had everything, and then I obeyed.

I made the decision without delay, and it changed my path and the life of my family.
Peace resided at my home; and my thoughts, relationships, and priorities changed.
The void had been filled, and a new life led by God began.

And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of The Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.
Colossians 3:17

As you experience the process of biblical change, you start to see life and its difficulties as existing within a wider, higher, deeper set of purposes. You may have never really realized that the events of your life actually serve the purpose of glorifying God. As you grow as a disciple,
you start to reinterpret or reorient all the events of your life -whether it is a traffic jam or a diagnosis of cancer, and understand them as opportunities to better know and love the Lord. You can also be positioned to minister to someone else in a difficult, unexpected situation because that's exactly how the living God in Christ met you, very tenderly and very clearly. So maybe your ministry will be ignited by the way you handle some little dinky episode out on the highway.

Our Father, please have mercy on us. We live so carelessly, and we have these little moments of illumination, it's as though our head bobs above the ocean. And then we sink for a long time. We beseech you to awaken us and make us float, make us breathe, make us see. Let us take seriously the delightful call of Christ, calling us out of darkness into light. Let us embrace your call in ways that are life rearranging, the call that we would become men and women who contribute to the quantum of light in the dark world, and don't just bumble along as one more person stumbling through darkness. Have mercy on your people. Make us beautiful. Carry us forward. Amen.

He brought them out of darkness and gloom and broke their chains apart. (Psalm 107: 14)

I was raised in a devout Muslim household and lived according to the teachings of Islam in every aspect of my life.
I prayed, fasted, memorized the Quran, and tried my best to be a good Muslim.

However, I encountered confusion and difficult questions about certain situations I observed in the lives of Muslims.
I began to doubt Islam and sought the truth from every angle, reading about various religions.
I found the peace and certainty I was searching for only when I studied Christianity in depth.

I learned about God’s unconditional love through Jesus Christ and His great mercy for sinners.

I read about His miracles and teachings, such as the story of the woman who sinned and whom He saved from punishment.
This love and mercy, which are completely different than the strict punishments I once believed in, made me contemplate.
I realized that Christ is the path to peace and freedom from fear and sin, and that He loves me as I am.

I cried out from my heart, asking for a sign from God, and my life responded with a real, living experience.
I was freed from evil spirits, drugs, and everything that negatively controlled me.

I declared my faith in Christ and began a new life filled with peace, joy, and freedom.
Today, I believe that anyone who sincerely seeks the truth can find Christ, the way to love and peace.

You will seek me and find me when you search for me with all your heart. (Jeremiah 29: 13)

I am a man from an Arab country, living in a major city, in my late thirties. I was raised in a religiously inclined environment and lived an ordinary life, balancing studies, work, and social relationships.
Since childhood, I have had a great curiosity and deep questions about God, the meaning of life, and death. This caused me internal confusion and a sense of spiritual emptiness.

In the start, I learned about Jesus Christ out of mere curiosity, without having any conviction or engaging in serious religious exploration.
I went through a long phase of questioning religion, truth, and the differences in beliefs among people around the world.
I wondered how people could differ despite believing in one God, and whether there is a single clear truth that can be reached.
Over time, I began to read and explore various religious ideas with an open mind, without any prior bias.

Later, I went deeper into reading the Bible and, especially, learning about the teachings of Jesus Christ.
I was influenced by His words about peace and rest for the weary, and I felt they genuinely touched my inner need.

I began to see in the person of Christ a different meaning for a relationship with God, one based on closeness, love, and tranquility.
As I continued my search, my conviction gradually developed towards faith in Christ as a savior and the way to God.
I felt that I began to find answers to the questions that had been with me for many years.

For me, this journey was a quest for truth, certainty, and the true meaning of life.
I believe that every person has the right to seek the truth sincerely until they reach their own personal conviction.

Commit your way to the Lord; trust in Him, and he will act, (Psalm 37: 5)

I am a woman living in a European country, originally from an Arab country, and I would like to share my experience with complete honesty. I have been following many religious programs and discussions, and over time, I embarked on a deep journey in search of the truth. Eventually, I developed an internal conviction that Christianity represents the right path for me.

I was originally a Muslim, but what I heard and studied led me to rethink many things. I felt that my relationship with God should be closer, built on honesty and inner peace.

However, the biggest challenge I face is my family situation. I am married to a devout Muslim man, which causes me to live in fear and internal conflict, as I cannot freely express what I feel, especially with my children and responsibilities.

Inside me, there is a strong desire for peace and the search for truth. Therefore, I have started to draw closer to God and pray in my own way, asking Him to guide me and grant me tranquility during this challenging time.

In a moment of sincerity, I prayed and asked God to guide me, lead me to the right path, protect my family, and grant me the strength to make the decision that is the best.

Today, I am still on a journey of searching, caught between fear and hope. However, I feel that I am seeking a true light and inner peace that I have not found before. I hope that God will lead me to what is the best for me and my family.

Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might.
Ephesians 6:10

Understanding how spiritual warfare intersects with common, everyday problems like anger, fear, and escapism starts with remembering that the whole world is in the power of the Evil One (1 John 5:19). The Evil One is a God-mimic. He wants us to be God-mimic too.

How does this play out when we are angry? If we are mimicking God instead of going to God, we become, like Satan, a false judge and an accuser (Revelation 12:10). James unpacks this dynamic in his letter (lames 4:1-12). We become self-righteous, condemning, malicious, unfair.
What about fear? Here we see Satan mimicking God as a false prophet. My colleague Ed Welch describes anxiety as a voice that tells us lies about ourselves, our God, our world, and about our future. What do people hear in their minds when they are anxious? “You have ruined everything.” “God doesn’t love you.” These are not the words God speaks in Scripture to His beloved children.

What about escapism and addiction? The common theme that runs through the wrong kind of pleasure-seeking is that we are looking for something besides God to make us happy, to make us feel good. to help us deal with the unpleasant realities of our lives. Satan is continually proposing self-salvation schemes to people that are designed to keep them from the real Savior.

So, when we struggle with anger, fear, and escapism we see all of our enemies at work. This is a daunting trio. But our hope is embedded in what we learn in Ephesians 6: Be strong in the Lord (v. 10). Put on the whole armor of God, which will enable us to stand firm (vv. 11, 13). In all circumstances the shield of faith can extinguish all the flaming darts of the evil one (v. 16). Keep alert with perserveance in prayer and the Word of God (vv. 17-19).

What causes quarrels and what causes fights among you? Is it not this, that your passions are at war within you?
James 4:1

Here are five questions to ask yourself, and one thing you need to do, that will direct your honest meeting with God when you struggle with anger:
1. What is happening around me when I get angry? Make a list of the last five times you got angry. When did you get angry at something that doesn’t really matter in God’s world? When did you get angry because you had made a good thing more important than God? And when did you get angry because you were truly wronged?
2. How do I act when I get angry? Do you express your anger in bitterness? In arguing? In slander? Were there any times when anger actually was an expression of love, not hate, and was expressed constructively?
3. What were my expectations when I became angry? This question about your motives reveals what hijacked God’s place in your heart. Your answer will show you where you need God’s help the most.
4. What message does God, in His Word, have for me that will speak to my anger? If you remember that this is God’s kingdom and not yours, the way you deal with your anger will be hugely affected. When you add to that an understanding of your real sins, then you will also see how God, in Christ, is tenderhearted and forgiving to you.
5. Ask God for help. You must turn to God for help if your wrong anger patterns are going to change. Turn to the God who loves you and tell him all about what is making you angry.

But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, tor my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore, I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me. - 2 Corinthians 12:9

There are seasons where progress in your spiritual growth goes very slowly. You wonder why you keep struggling with a temper, anxiety, or being clumsy in relationships. But often when we think about growth and transformation, we have an idealized image in our minds. I doubt that most of us picture honest struggles. It is not unusual for life to be difficult. We see things within ourselves that we wish would change, but we keep failing in some way. If sanctification means becoming like Christ, then the way we struggle is as much a part of our sanctification as some idealized image of what we hope that we would become.

There are also particular kinds of growth and strength that may be happening in our lives that we don’t even see. Living in weakness doesn’t necessarily feel like growth, but your heart may be becoming more generous to other people. You may have less of a sense of your rights and prerogatives, what you want to accomplish, or that you need to get credit. You have a growing sense that other people really matter. You can be gracious to them in their shortcomings and their heartaches. Now none of those things are splashy transformations. They’re just good, quiet, strong, steady fruits of the Lord working in our lives.

If you add these two things together; realism about the ongoing struggle that makes you need the Lord and then contentment with quiet, unspectacular graces in your life, then sanctification can, in fact, go forward, even when you’re going through a hard patch in life.

The LORD is my strength and my shield;
in Him my heart trusts, and I am helped;
my heart exults, and with my song I give thanks to Him.
Psalm 28:7

What is your greatest struggle and need right now? Where will you face today’s crucial choices? In that moment, in that situation, what will you do? How will you treat people? What will you believe? Where will you place (or misplace) your trust? What will you want? How will you react in that circumstance? These questions look for the significant, decisive choices in a person’s everyday life: “When you face that situation, which way will you turn?”

Second, what does the Lord say that speaks directly into what you are facing? Who is He? What is He doing? What does He promise? What does He will? And what does He call you to believe, need, trust, hope, and obey? These questions explore a person’s current perceptions of the God who is there. Is what God says and does immediately relevant or basically irrelevant?

Both questions help us to work on the things that count. The first question helps us grasp the environment (providentially arranged by the Vinedresser) in which growth (or hardening) takes place daily. It makes discipleship relevant. The second question helps us grasp what we do (or don’t) understand about God and how He meets us. Often we already know significant truth, but we don’t know it in a way that changes our lives. Discipleship the hard work of kneading what is true into how we actually live.

But God proves his own love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.(romans 5: 8)

I grew up in a conservative Muslim household, committed to prayer, fasting, and reading the Quran, and I memorized parts of it since a young age.
I grew up trying to be a good Muslim, applying Sharia law and staying away from sins, but I felt an inner emptiness and dissatisfaction.
I was seeking God’s favor out of fear of punishment and desire for paradise, and I did not feel the true, unconditional love that makes the relationship with God enjoyable and real.
I began to search for deeper answers in the Quran, Hadiths, and books of jurisprudence, but everything I found did not fill the emptiness in my inside my heart.

Out of curiosity and search for the truth, I began to read about Christianity, the life and teachings of Jesus Christ, and the Gospel.
I was struck by the idea of unconditional divine love, that God loves man as he is, before any action, and that Christ gave His life as a ransom for our sins.

I understood that forgiveness in Christianity is total and complete, and that faith in Christ grants a new beginning and cleansing from all sins, a true promise that fills the heart with peace.
I learned that the relationship with God can be direct and individual, without barriers or intermediaries, and that the Holy Spirit guides and leads the believer in his daily life.
I was touched by the personality of Christ and His teachings, His love for people, His forgiveness towards His enemies, His generosity, His humility, and all His miracles that prove His divine authority.
His resurrection from the dead was the fundamental turning point, proof that He is God manifested in the flesh, and gave humanity the hope of eternal life.
Faith in Christ has completely changed my life; I now have true inner peace, trust in God, patience, love for others, and strength to face difficulties.
I discovered a new purpose and meaning in life, and I felt a moral and spiritual transformation that rearranged all my priorities and values.
Today I live my life with a new faith and inner peace, and I carry a message of love and forgiveness to all who seek true truth and peace.

You will seek me and find me when you search for me with all your heart. (Jeremiah 29: 13)

I was raised in a conservative Islamic environment and brought up with the teachings of Islam from a young age. Religion was an essential part of my life. Over time, I developed a profound desire to seek the truth and gain a deeper understanding of God.

I tried to obtain the Bible despite the difficulties, and after considerable effort, I managed to read it. As I began to compare what I knew from Islamic teachings with what I read, I noticed a clear difference. I found in the teachings of Jesus Christ love, mercy, and peace that deeply touched my heart.

However, this discovery was not easy. I experienced a significant internal struggle due to inherited beliefs and fear of societal judgment. I hid what I felt and pretended to adhere to what I was raised with. Despite this, I began to seek God sincerely and spoke to Him from my heart, not just with memorized words.

Each time I prayed in this simple manner, I felt an inner peace and joy that I had never known before. However, one question continued to linger: How can I free myself from this fear? And how can I truly experience the presence of God?
In a moment of sincerity, I decided to open my heart completely. I prayed and said, “Lord, I surrender my life into your hands. I give You my heart, my mind, and everything within me. Cleanse me from within and fill my life with your presence.”

That moment marked the beginning of a true transformation within me. I realized that God is close to those who seek Him sincerely and that He looks at the heart, not appearances. I am still on this journey, but I have found deep peace and faith that God is love and that He guides a person to the light when sought with sincerity.
