Jesus cured all of them. This was in fulfillment of what was spoken by the prophet Isaiah, "A bruised reed He will not break, and a smoldering (dimly burning) wick He will not quench."

HELPING WOUNDED CHRISTIANS FIND HOPE AND HEALING TO RESUME THE JOURNEY Have you ever met a wounded Christian? A hurting one? A fellow follower of Christ who is bleeding emotionally or spiritually? No doubt you have. You may even fit into one or more of those categories yourself. How does that happen? It comes about when the very nature of faith and trust collides with human imperfection. Faith in Jesus Christ is the cornerstone of Christianity. In fact, "Without faith, it is impossible to please God" (Hebrews 11:6). A synonym of faith is trust. We trust in Christ. We also trust fellow Christians, the Body of Christ. Oops! It turns out that Christians are the weak link. Christians are inescapably human, and because we are, we cannot be perfect. Yes, God helps us. His Spirit does live within us, and we have his inspired guidebook for reference. However sometimes we can't help but blunder, step on toes, walk into china shops with our elbows out, poke loved ones in their wounded spirits, and generally leave trails of brokenness. And, since what goes around comes around, we get poked at, stepped on, and knocked about ourselves. Ouch! The purpose of this web site is to give wounded Christ-followers a cyber place to gather for regrouping, comfort, and healing. It's not a whining wall, nor do we encourage finger-pointing. Our desire is simply for those who have been punched in the spiritual solar plexus to be able to pause and catch their breath. We pray that everyone in anguish can gain equilibrium enough to walk again. That's our vision, anyway. We invite you to visit regularly to see how it unfolds.
