Have you had a Christian friend turn on you? Has your church experience been tainted by painful relationships with other believers? When Jesus instituted His church nearly 2,000 years ago, He declared that the gates of Hell would not prevail against it. While the enemy has never been able to overcome the church of Jesus Christ, he has still presented many challenges to it. Though the church was birthed in unity, division has marred many houses of worship. The reason? The church is centered on relationships and relationships can have problems. The church has been aptly described as a family, yet every family has its struggles and so it is with the family of God. Anytime there are problems in church, people get hurt. Out of a burden for today's church, Danny Cheney seeks to make you aware of the need for forgiveness and reconciliation. Drawing on nearly two decades of pastoral experience, he gives insight into how to find healing from church hurts. Having pastored three churches that had been through major division, Danny has seen first-hand the wounds that believers endure in the House of God. Through these experiences, he has found that the Scriptures give us all the answers to the problems churches and believers face. In Sometimes, Church Hurts, you will discover truths that will help you heal fractured relationships while also finding healing for your deepest wounds. This honest and challenging book addresses the issues that many churches and believers face today and helps us realize, Sometimes, Church Hurts.

If you’ve been part of a church, you have probably suffered a “church hurt”—or know someone who has. Maybe the pastor had an affair or the congregation fought over money or the leaders were disguising gossip as “prayer.” Stephen Mansfield knows how it feels. Though he is now a New York Times bestselling author, he was a pastor for more than 20 years, and he loved it—until he learned how much a church can hurt. Yet he also learned how to dig out of that hurt, break through the bitterness and anger, stop making excuses, and get back to where he ought to be with God and his people. If you’re ready to choose the tough path to healing, Mansfield will walk you through it with brotherly love, showing you how you can be better than ever on the other side of this mess—if you’re willing to start Healing Your Church Hurt.

How many of you can relate to being hurt by the church? Better yet, how many of you can relate to being hurt by the people of the church? Have you ever experienced a church hurt one too many times and then one day you are just fed up? Maybe, you have never been hurt by the church but knows someone who has. How many of you can relate to staying somewhere longer than what God intended? He will allow life to get uncomfortable for you, but you still remain. Well, in this story the author was fed up, it was the final straw, she had enough. But one mistake many people often make is that they break up with God. Yes, I said it, you get hurt by the church and you turn your back on God! Do not make this mistake. Find another church home but "Do not give up on God, for his word says, "He will never leave nor forsake you!" This is an in depth reading on how often times unresolved hurts from church people often lead people away from God. The author shares her experiences as well as other examples of church hurts by others. In the end, one thing is certain, people WILL hurt you and God knows this. But whatever you do, "Do Not Give Up on God!" Because he will not give up on you. And he knows every ounce of betrayal from people you could ever experience. Let me share with you the power of forgiveness, love, prayer, and obedience. And I hope when you walk away you feel more empowered and more in love with Jesus Christ!

Ephesians 4:32 says; "Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ, God forgave you." 6 These Words of God are truly words we should live by. Face it. We're all in this together. We are imperfect people, being changed from glory to glory to be more like Jesus. If we are truly followers of Jesus, then we MUST obey Him and do what He says! For He clearly stated; "If anyone loves Me, he WILL obey my teaching. My Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him." 7 Let us each take these words to heart, pray over them, and endeavor to live them out by the power of God's Holy Spirit working in our lives! Over the years, as I have walked with the Lord, I have sometimes felt hurt or disappointed or let down by people in the Church, even by the failure of individual fellowships, Christian organizations, or denominations of the Church. Their sincere best efforts to effectively manage and build the Church often fall short of showing the love, kindness and mercy of the One Whom they represent. Like you, I am learning to forgive, and to move on in Christ, to reconnect with the Church, and to risk once more being in fellowship with other believers in Christ.. But in all fairness, we must each ask ourselves this painful, soul-searching question; "How many people might I myself have hurt or disappointed or let down?" and "How can I grow in my own faith and become all God wants me to become, without the regular fellowship, encouragement, interaction and prayers of other believers?" I think James says it best; "We all stumble in many ways. If anyone is never at fault, he is a perfect (mature or complete) man, able to keep his own body in check. ... the Tongue is a small part of the body, but it makes great boasts. Consider what a great forest is set on fire by a small spark. The tongue also is a fire, a world of evil among the parts of the body. It corrupts the hole person, sets the whole course of his life on fire, and is itself set on fire by hell". 8 In any relationship between two or more people, you're going to eventually find that there is a disagreement or a source of conflict. Think of a marriage. The honeymoon wears off, and eventually one begins asking; "Why don't you ever put the lid on the toothpaste?", or something else just as trivial. Little and insignificant things can get all blown out of proportion. Or consider your life interactions where you work; getting along with coworkers, or dealing with a difficult boss. How about relating to neighbors, or parents, or relatives, or kids? Disagreement, misunderstandings and conflicts are an unavoidable part of life. We are all different. So why is it that when we walk through the doors of a Church, we suddenly expect everyone to be different than they are the rest of the week? We all still have the same life issues, struggles, and problems getting along with people - whether we are at work, or at home, or at Church, because we're still the same people. I say it's time to make peace, it's time we choose to get right with one another - no matter how difficult or messy the process, because we really DO need one another.

People hurting people with their words and actions is a known reality in most of our Christian environments, and this kind of pain can affect the lives of Christians all over the world. Insults and ridicule have become commonplace in our society and in our churches, and many of us have begun to speak critically of our brothers and sisters in Christ, never giving a thought to the consequences or the emotional pain that is can cause. Church Hurts and the Healing Process invites Christians to consider their own church hurts--both the ones they've experience and the ones they've inflicted. Author Dot Kelley shares biblical advice and wisdom for treating the wounds we can experience while on our Christian walks with our fellow brothers and sisters. And through the healing power of forgiveness, Christians can learn how to manage their relationships and trust in God's love to make the necessary changes. In the end, embracing this gift from God will help us love beyond our pain. You can receive healing through acts of unconditional love and forgiveness for others. And Church Hurts and the Healing Process can restore your wounded heart through humility, helping you to display God's kind of love and forgiveness--the same kind of love that he showed when Christ shed his blood for us on the Cross at Calvary.

The body of Christ is full of people who have been wounded by Christians or the church. Author Dr. Angela Corprew-Boyd helps the hurting recognize they are not alone and provides them with wisdom and knowledge to reach out to Christ and receive deliverance from wounds that have made them bitter, resentful, and less effective in ministry. Church leaders and laypeople will benefit from Dr. Corprew-Boyd’s testimony and teaching. Once crippled by wounds inflicted by her pastor and trusted members of her church family, the author describes how she found healing and offers words of comfort and practical advice for readers grappling with their own church hurt. She emphasizes the importance of acknowledgement, reaching out to God, and, finally, forgiveness of others and oneself. Her message serves as a crucial reminder that there is hope for the future in spite of what our adversaries have said and done. Topics covered include the many possible sources of church hurt, how to recognize when a wound is still open, how woundedness can be transferred to church members, and the process of healing.

Church hurt has become a growing epidemic in today's church. One of the reasons for this is some people are simply not called nor chosen by God to lead His people, even though somehow, this truth was overlooked by the people who ordained them. Another reason is ... there are a lot of believers who do not understand that one of the prices we pay for being Christians is persecution. In other words, church hurt often stems from a lack of understanding. In Healing from Church Hurt, you will learn how to overcome the wounds you may have received from your local sanctuary, as well as learn to see church hurt from another perspective.

Many Christians who experience hurt in the church don't just leave their own churches; they leave the church altogether. Whether they have been wounded by pastors or people in the pews, these believers have had enough and are jumping ship in massive numbers. Pastor and churchgoer Chris Jackson is honest about his own failings as well as those of the church at large. He identifies with many of the hurts churchgoing Christians have experienced. In Loving God When You Don't Love the Church, he hopes to provide healing to wounded and disillusioned believers and restore the wonder of a genuine relationship with Jesus and his bride, the church. Jackson's humility, compassion, and practical advice for healing and restoration will touch those who have left the church and those who love them.
