Is God on the throne? No really, is He still on the throne of our hearts? I believe this is an important question for us to answer as we explore church hurt. Why? Well, if we have unwittingly replaced God with other people places or things, we have at the same time unwittingly set ourselves up for a world of hurt. And sometimes what we are calling hurt be it from the church or otherwise, is just an outcome and indication that we have set up false and idol gods. It is at least worth investigation and inspection to be sure that we first have God in His proper place in our lives, then we can better ascertain what is going on in our lives. When we keep God first and move at His command, we are more likely to overcome and in many cases avoid church hurt.
