Abuse is not about not getting your own way. It's important to understand that it's a much more serious issue. The dictionary defines abuse as unfairly treating someone through harmful actions such as mistreatment, violence, neglect, exploitation, molestation, battering, hurting, and injury. It also includes the use of harsh and insulting language, name-calling, foul words, insults, invective, criticism, and verbal attacks, along with physical mistreatment.

 

It's truly unfortunate that many Christians experience emotional and/or physical abuse. However, before we can invite God's Help, it's important to acknowledge our struggles and honestly face the reality of our situation.

​

As Christians, we often turn to The Scriptures for God's Answers and Guidance to navigate the challenges and situations we encounter in our lives. However, many times we fail to understand what God's Word has to say or is saying to us. This can happen because we're searching for a specific chapter and verse that holds The Answers, when what we really need is to learn how to understand and apply God's Principles to our daily lives.

​

A principle is a truth that serves as a foundation for other truths and a rule of conduct. We are going to find many of our Father’s Principles in the following Scriptures, and we are going to learn how to apply them to our lives.
