Matthew 23:1-4 “Seven Marks of Mentally Healthy Spirituality”

There are not only a lot of religions to choose from, but a lot of churches and denominations within Christianity itself. Whether or not the religion being taught is mentally healthy or not must be determined on a case-by-case basis. The religious leaders of Jesus’ day had the Holy Scriptures, but they did not practice them in a way that was mentally healthy. In today’s message, we’ll explore Seven Marks of a Mentally Healthy Religion.
1.      Does it build bridges or barriers between people?
2.      Does it foster healthy or unhealthy dependency relationships?
3.      Does it move from a sense of guilt to forgiveness?
4.      Does it increase or lessen enjoyment of life?
5.      Does it lead to an acceptance or denial of reality?
6.      Does it emphasize love or fear?
7.      Does it strengthen or weaken self-esteem?
