Finding Faith
Striking The Balance
Ever feel like your life is out of balance? It’s not uncommon.
Parents know for a young child to grow up healthy, five areas of their life must be in balance: their emotional development, their intellectual learning, physical strength, psychological heath and well being AND a healthy spirituality is needed. The last area is often left out, leaving us with an imbalance. But the truth is that all five areas are needed for that child to grow strong.
There’s balance needed in the Christian life too. If you desire your faith to develop and mature, you learn to strike a balance using all the elements the Lord has given for a healthy Christian life.
Our Lord taught and LIVED out a deep connection with his heavenly father.
Connecting to God
Christ Jesus himself showed us how to stay connected to God and today we still walk in his ways to nurture our own Christian lives.
In the Anglican Church, our baptismal promises will guide you in striking a healthy balance for a life of faith.
This includes bible reading, prayer, attending worship, having fellowship with other Christians, and learning to share our faith.
An invitation to a NEW Beginning is found in God’s word.
