Why are so many Christians depressed today?

So only Christians are depressed ? Muslims aren't depressed? Atheists aren't depressed? Pagans or traditionalists aren't depressed? Scientologists are so happy they are not depressed? Buddhists are in heavenly joy and feel no depression? Eckancar and other pseudo Christians religions are all happy?

They seek the peace and joy of this world which is reliant on temporal and perishable factors, not that which is eternal and not of this world that Jesus taught us about. John 14:28

Agreed but know that we have needs as Christian on earth. Even if we are to serve God because we love Him and not focus on earthly things, You must eat, pay bills and so forth, our needs being met are consolations or tokens we need in our pilgrim journey.

Most Christians are in lack that's why they are depressed.

Your assertion that lack is responsible for this is incorrect, because there was also lack in the early church. Not just lack but lots of persecution.

Do you have any idea it means to be jailed for weeks and even months, if not years, to add to being beating and tortured for preaching the Gospel of Christ?

But how many of the early Christians did you hear of being depressed?

Instead they would be rejoicing and singing praises to God in their sufferings.

That's what the peace and joy of Jesus gives. It doesn't rely on earthly factors.

So lack as you claim is not enough for the causes of depression among Christians.

I should know because I have been depressed as a Christian before I received this joy and peace from God via a change of my mindset and priorities.

Yes i've had my moments of lack and some really trying times but never got depressed again, since my peace and joy were not tied to the things of this world but the kingdom of God.

1 Corinthians 15:19 If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable.

those ones have lost hope in God, If Christ is in them then hope not for things, but hope for eternal life.

Do they have such hope, do those who lead them show them such hope. So do they go to the church and still feel like they are in the world where money not only matters but seems magnified beside God.


If they know the truth, the truth will set them free from depression, from discouragement. Is the Holy Spirit not the comforter who has slapped him out of every depressing attack of the devil. But is the Holy Spirit in them.

Is it not written if the Holy is not in you, you are not a Christian and for the Holy Spirit to in a person they have been liberated from this world of sin from it's control and influence.


Their heart is on the treasures above.

Jesus still said your Father knows you have need of these things that the Gentiles seek but seek he first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness and these needs, food, water, cloth will be added.

You cannot have a divided focus, your eyes have to be singular to not be confused and behave irregular or lukewarm.

what lack was there in the early church, where did you read that, who told you that. They gave all and had all in common and shared, they had enough to even send relief and feed orphans and widows.

May the Lord Restore our Hopes....

This is real, many are falling into it...

Okay

Speaking personally, I'm not depressed,I am only frustrated about the coming of Jesus Christ. I am eager to experience something extra ordinary in this world.
I had a dream about rapture when I was in ss2 in 2004 then. I saw people flying to heaven and I was crying that I wasn't amongst those flying

The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want. Psalm 23:1

I shall laugh at destruction and famine Job 5:22

They that know their God shall be strong(not depressed) and do exploits
Daniel 11:32

Deep down, most Christians know they don't know zilch about God. They know they don't know, they just want a miracle. But the only way to escape the fangs of this world is to know God. Know him like you know Emeka your best friend not philosophically
