Mental Health Resources for Christians | Website 基督徒心理健康资源 | 网站

简介：

Nearly 1 in 5 adults in the United States experience mental health disorders (National Institute of Mental Health), a rate that has increased significantly in recent decades both in society and among Christians, and nearly 1 in 2 individuals will experience mental illness in their lifetime. Mental health refers to the absence of mental illness and the well-being of our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, reflecting the healthy function of our soul’s mind (Psa. 139:14), emotion (Deut. 6:5), and will (1 Chron. 22:19). The healthy functioning of our soul is essential for our Christian experience because our mind is needed to understand God’s Word, our emotion is needed to enjoy and love God, and our will is needed to turn to God and to our spirit. The Lord, Jesus Christ, cares for our soul as the Shepherd and Overseer of our soul (1 Pet. 2:25), restores our soul (Psa. 23:3), and gives our soul rest (Matt. 11:29). While His marvelous redemption and organic salvation are the ultimate solution to all the problems in man’s body, soul, and spirit (1 Thes. 5:23), in the course of our Christian life, we may encounter physical and psychological difficulties that can impair our spiritual condition and hinder our growth in Christ. As we must care for our physical health through proper diet, exercise, and sleep and respond to physical illness with the proper medical treatment, we must also properly care for our mental health and respond to mental illness with the proper psychological treatment. God’s Word charges us to put away any encumbrance, including mental health difficulties, to run the Christian race (Heb. 12:1). We are also encouraged to shepherd others who may struggle with psychological challenges as an aspect of building up the Body of Christ (Gal. 6:2). The purpose of this website is to provide personal, accessible, empathetic, nonjudgmental, current, and confidential mental health information, education, resources, and referrals in order to counter and reverse the suffering of the saints that have been victimized by Satan and to change many spiritual futures. We wish to provide help in such matters of depression, anxiety, eating disorders, addiction, abuse, and other related topics. We have labored to provide up-to-date topics from well-trained brothers and sisters and practical fellowship from the ministry and leading brothers. Our goal is for all of God’s children to have well-balanced tripartite beings for a proper human and overcoming Christian life.

近五分之一的美国成年人患有心理健康障碍（美国国家心理健康研究所），这一比率近几十年来在社会和基督徒中都显著增加，并且近二分之一的人在一生中会经历精神疾病。心理健康指的是没有精神疾病，以及我们的思想、情感和行为的安康，反映了我们魂的心思（诗139:14）、情感（申6:5）和意志（代上22:19）的健康功能。我们魂的健康功能对我们的基督徒经历至关重要，因为我们需要心思来明白神的话，需要情感来享受并爱神，需要意志来转向神和我们的灵。主耶稣基督作为我们魂的牧人和监督，顾念我们的魂（彼前2:25），恢复我们的魂（诗23:3），并使我们的魂得安息（太11:29）。虽然祂奇妙的救赎和生机的拯救是我们身体、魂和灵中所有问题的最终解决方案（帖前5:23），但在我们基督徒生活的过程中，我们可能会遇到身体和心理上的困难，这些困难会损害我们的属灵状况并阻碍我们在基督里的长大。正如我们必须通过适当的饮食、锻炼和睡眠来照顾我们的身体健康，并以适当的医疗来应对身体疾病一样，我们也必须适当地照顾我们的心理健康，并以适当的心理治疗来应对精神疾病。神的话嘱咐我们要放下各样的重担，包括心理健康上的困难，来奔跑基督徒的赛程（来12:1）。我们也受鼓励去牧养那些可能在心理挑战中挣扎的人，以此作为建造基督身体的一面（加6:2）。本网站的目的是提供个人化、易于获取、有同理心、不带论断、最新且保密的心理健康信息、教育、资源和转介，以对抗并扭转被撒但所害之圣徒的苦难，并改变许多人的属灵前途。我们希望在抑郁、焦虑、饮食失调、成瘾、虐待及其他相关主题上提供帮助。我们努力提供由训练有素的弟兄姊妹所撰写的最新主题文章，以及来自职事和领头弟兄们实行的交通。我们的目标是让神所有的儿女都拥有均衡的三部分人，以过一个正常的人性生活和得胜的基督徒生活。
