Abuse: What is it?
This article has been written in the hopes of shedding some light on abuse in various forms. The purpose in writing about this subject is to aid people in how to help those who have been abused and to know how to recognize different types of abuse and stop it all together. We will not cover all that there is to know about this subject, but we do hope to provide some information that will increase the awareness and understanding of abuse overall. If we are to notice abuse, stop abuse and help those who have been abused we need to know what abuse really is?
Familial Abuse And Some Steps Towards Healing
Some of the most devastating abuse that one can be subjected to is, “familial abuse”. The reason being that the abuse has originated from those who are supposed to trustworthy. In these situations, trust is shattered. One may experience abuse by a stranger, but when one experiences abuse by a family member (especially a close family member) the level of brokenness reaches even deeper into one’s being. Betrayal is always at the heart of this type of abuse. This article will also explore steps towards healing.
The Thievery Of Abuse
This article is presented to shine some light on the various ‘thieving’ components of abuse.
If we are to find and provide real and lasting solutions for those who have been abused then we need to understand the various impacts of abuse. We need to know what is needed for healing to come to those who have suffered abuse, by first realizing the effects and consequences.
People Start To Heal When They Feel Heard
Those who have experienced trauma and remain ‘trapped’ in that trauma are often those who have not had the proper, ‘aftercare’ required to help diffuse and deal with the negative effects of the experience.
Many times, it is not ‘just’ the ‘traumatic’ encounter that causes the long term effects, but the ‘lack’ of care (and needed processing) after it occurs. The proper care can help to ‘diffuse’ the overwhelming physiological, neurological, emotional and mental aspects of a traumatic event.
When Scripture Is Misused
Scripture is revered in the eyes of many as it should be, but sometimes people tend to think that using, ‘Scripture’ is always appropriate. If Scripture is spoken at the wrong time, in the wrong manner or out of context then quoting or using Scripture could cause more harm than good. There are times when quoting the Bible is absolutely needed and essential, but this article is about when it isn’t the right time. Before one thinks that this is blasphemy please continue to the end of the article for the full explanation.
The Great Need: Homes For Abuse Survivors
The need for survivors to have a new home is extensive and the lack thereof has kept many survivors from being able to escape abuse and heal. One cannot always heal in the environment where they were abused or in an environment where there is a lack of support and compassion. The Body of Christ is called to demonstrate the love of God to others in need of help. Attention has been brought to the orphan crisis around the world regarding children who desperately need homes and yet there are also adult abuse survivors who need safe places to live.

Guest Article: Church Abuse Issues
Every church and every Christian organization is somewhere on a continuum, from healthy to cult-like. Here are a few of the dynamics to watch for to help you know if a church or Christian organization is approaching cult-like-ness to a greater or lesser degree. I want to emphasize that as long as things are going well in the life of a church-goer, these rules for the most part won’t be tested. It is usually only when there are problems in a person’s life that these negative characteristics will become noticeable.
