Do You Know What <strong>Your</strong> Real Problem Is?<br />

you talk about God or the church that is different<br />

from the one you live with the other 167 hours of<br />

the week when you face your problems outside<br />

the church service.<br />

It's like your "Christian" face is wearing a<br />

mask. You've learned to conceal what you really<br />

think and feel, what you hurt over, are frustrated<br />

by, the fears that haunt you, the pain you bear,<br />

the feeling that things are not getting better and<br />

probably won't. Satan slips in again with his<br />

insinuations. "Why doesn't the sermon get down<br />

to where you live in the nitty-gritty of your dayby-day<br />

needs? The singing lifted you up, but why<br />

are you so down again? The prayers at church<br />

inspired you that better things are coming, but<br />

where are they? When are they going to get here?<br />

You heard all this the last time you were at<br />

church and the times before that. But nothing is<br />

happening. Why? Why? Why?" You cry, "Why<br />

doesn't the devil leave me alone?"<br />

You open the Bible to do what a good<br />

Christian should: read and study and let God<br />

speak to you from His Holy Word. You read, but<br />

you wonder what it means. You read where it all<br />

happened back there thousands of years ago to<br />

people you question as being a real person like<br />

yourself.<br />

Did they go through the things the Bible says<br />
