Advanced Writers and Speakers Association\'s 2015 Golden Scroll Merit Award (Nonfiction) 12th Annual Outreach Resource of the Year Recommendation (Counseling) Our culture is frantic with worry.
This is a book not just for people who worry; this is a call to the church to turn its eyes from the things of earth and fix its eyes on the author and completer of our faith.".
Correctly understanding the theology of Worry is critical to true transformation.
We don\'t often give much thought to why Worry offends God, but indulging anxiety binds us to mere possibilities and blinds us to the truth.
Challenging the idolatrous underpinnings of worry, former Christianity Today executive Amy Simpson encourages us to root our Faith in who God is, not in our own will power.
To live with joy and contentment, trusting God with the present and the future, is a countercultural feat that can be accomplished only through him.
The Bible makes it clear that the future belongs only to God, who rules and is not subject to the limitations of time.
How can we live life abundantly, with joy, as God has called us to do, when we?re consumed by anxiety? We are commanded not to worry, not only in the well-known words of Jesus recorded in Matthew 6, but also throughout the Old Testament and the epistles to the church.
It is a spiritual problem, which ultimately cannot be overcome with sheer willpower its solution is rooted entirely in who God is.
The fact is, Worry is sin, but we don\'t seem to take it seriously.
But we are called to live and think differently from the worried World around us.
And sadly, Christians are no different.
Worry is part of our culture, an expectation of responsible people.
We stress over circumstances we can\'t control, we talk about what\'s keeping us up at night and we wring our hands over the fate of disadvantaged people all over the world, almost as if to show we care and that we have big things to care about.
