Showing results for "The Certainties" in Spiritual Growth

We all long for certainty in life, yet things often don't go as we expect. When facing illness, job loss, strained relationships, and other struggles, our impulse is to question God and strive to fix things ourselves. In this book, Shelly Miller, a trusted ministry leader, explores how difficult times can actually be purposeful times of spiritual growth.

Surrendering Certainty addresses a key misconception about God's voice: that it will tell what will happen tomorrow. We've mistaken God's voice in our lives for a means of obtaining knowledge instead of embracing its power to give us peace for today. Since the fall in the garden of Eden, humanity has carried the same deception that misled Eve. We think more information will give us more freedom. But if we look at Jesus's teachings, we that his direction was never intended to give us a roadmap.

Jesus claimed to be 'the way and the truth and the life.' But can we really accept this ultimate truth in an age of questioning, uncertainty, relativism and scepticism? In More Truth, young philosopher Kristi Mair explores whether Christians can be confident in the 'truth' in our anything goes age.
