Christians
and Loneliness
The
Christian church comes together first to worship, then to share amongst its
members, praise and prayer. The Christian church is a place of “edification”.
Christians are to help build each other up in the “faith once delivered”. Most all people to one degree or another have
no emotional support or association with those who wish to give it. It is
extremely important for humans to help each other out.
As Christians we understand this issue much more than the
non-Christian. We come together as a “body” at least once a week for spiritual,
emotional, and sometimes physical support. People who have social “worldly”
life’s have a different kind of association. Much of the world’s associations
are not supportive, at least in the right way. Many sit around and gossip about
others, cut others down. Also, addictions are supported by many people whom a
person calls “friend”.
Christianity tries to understand what true mental health is.
Loneliness is caused by more than one thing but mainly for lack of association
with other people – also, the lack of proper or right association. It is
healthy to befriend others who have different views than ourselves. Sadly,
those who have political differences have allowed their ideology to completely
control everything that they are. Many cannot be a friend of somebody that has
different political or even religious views than themselves.
Many have socially isolated themselves. They only talk to
those who always agree with them. This is not healthy. Inadequate and
meaningful connections are lacking in the lonely person. Remaining by yourself
for too long of a period can cause stress, anxiety and emotional depression. If
you find it hard to get out of your personal loneliness, pray to God to give
you the bravery and strength to find a Christian church to attend. Only for one
hour worship service a week. Or, if you are uncomfortable with starting out
worshiping, call a church to find out if they have a weekly Bible study. Get a
Bible and show up.
If nothing else, at least “book mark” this Christian site
(“The Shepherds Way & Nugget of Truth"). Study with us here everyday and
send us some prayer requests. We will pray for you. The Ancient Antiochene
Church of God has brothers and sisters in Christ from numerous different
churches. Find yourself a local Christian church that you like and start
attending.
We will always keep you in our prayers.
May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.
