Grace Energized Men: Healthy Faith vs. Unhealthy Faith

Believers with unhealthy faith are sometimes called “worldly” Christians, because they seen to act so much like unsaved people. Their lives are, as Jesus said, like the pagans (Matthew 6:32), in that they are people constantly prone to worry, who go from one bad relationship to another, often struggling with growing bitterness, and often experiencing a great lack of patience, or even struggling with endless loneliness, lust, and addictions.

These believers can also show their unhealthy faith in poor marriages, endless problems raising their children, and often their out of control tempers. Each of these are symptoms of unhealthy faith; and each of these life-symptoms are described in God's Word as problems that are rooted deeply in our hearts.

Many of these symptoms of unhealthy faith can also cause related physical and emotional problems. Sadly, many unhealthy believers merely go to physicians, psychologists, and psychiatrists with these life-crippling problems instead of also going to the place where real and lasting change can come which is to God--the only One who can heal us spiritually, emotionally, and physically.
