Healing Happens Best In Need Based Ministries and Life Groups

For many of us, when something breaks down, the first thing we do is go to a tutorial on how to fix it. We want to learn from someone who has faced the same problem, made the same mistakes, but overcame the challenge. Yet, why is it we are reluctant to ask for help when it comes to our hurts, habits, and hang-ups? In chapter ten of the first letter to the church in Corinth, the apostle Paul recounts Israel’s rebellious history in the wilderness: “These things happened to them as examples for us. They were written down to warn us who live at the end of the age” (1 Corinthians 10:11). Paul wants Christians who think their faith is somehow ‘superior’ to acknowledge they are no more special than anyone else. In fact, their pride will cause them to fall, if they refuse to learn from Israel’s mistakes.
