Mark 3:23-27

‘Gaslighting’ is a complex, nuanced term that many have experienced or perpetuated. If you have ever been made to question the validity of your faith, your perception of reality, your lived experiences and feelings; you may have been a victim of gaslighting. In a grace-resistant world full of post-truths, we must learn how to deal with gaslighting by returning to the Truth of God’s Word.

James wrote: "... if you listen to the word and don’t obey, it is like glancing at your face in a mirror. You see yourself, walk away, and forget what you look like.” (James 1:23-24 NLT) The Pharisees thought they were obeying the word. I wonder, could this be us? Are we Pharisees? You’re invited to gaze afresh, ditch religion, and grow in the childlike intimacy God desires and adores.
