What Are "God Tools"?

Written by Dr. Jen Clark

Have you ever wondered why so many believers seem to struggle with living the Christian life? Christians are depressed and stressed, wounded and weary! Being "more than a conqueror" is an mere concept more than a rubber-meets-the-road reality. The answer is that they don't know how to use their God Tools. Some figure it out on their own, but they don't know how to teach others. But most just suffer with stress, hurt, anger, and shame for years and years because don't understand what to do.

Do you ever hear negative thoughts about yourself in your head?

Like "I'm just a loser," "I'm a failure," "I'll never get it right," "I always say the wrong thing," and so on? Did you know that one simple principle can bring you a lot of relief? 

The Simplicity of Forgiveness

How hard is forgiving your enemies?

Evidently Jesus expects us to forgive even the hard to forgive. If He tells us to do something, He gives grace to do that very thing. Why then do so many people struggle with forgiving even the petty and insignificant? Perhaps believers do not understand how to enter into the simplicity of forgiveness.

What is Biblical forgiveness?

Written by Dr. Jen Clark

Forgiveness is a gift given to us by Jesus when He died on the Cross (Eph. 1:6-8) and He tells us to be forgivers, too (Matthew 18:20-22). We receive forgiveness when we are saved. Forgiveness restores us to harmony with God at the time of salvation, cleanses us from sin, removes walls of hostility, and washes out hurt, anger, and fear in the heart. Forgiveness deals with the baggage of the past.

After a Christian is saved, he or she does not "try" to forgive, but allows Christ to forgive through them. For the believer, forgiveness is the answer for the everday issues of life—offenses, rejection, fears, and resentment—both big and small.
