The ark of covenant, the temple of Jerusalem, the brazen serpent, and the cross, are some of the many symbolic tools used in scripture to convey higher spiritual truths of the logos. The parables of Jesus serve in the same manner. The Celestial Church of Christ uses a lot of symbols in its practice. What use are symbols in worship space? Why does God communicate using symbols? Are symbols necessary for spirituality?

A difficult topic to be sure, however it’s a necessary one to have. One of the reasons this is a difficult topic is the ever fluid nature of mental health and the many myths that surround it. It can also present as an area that isn’t taken seriously enough especially by Christians. The purpose of this discussion is to explore the depths of mental health within the Christian framework.

One of the oldest debates in Christianity is Faith and Works in relation to salvation. It’s a debate that has divided Protestants and the Roman Catholic faith. It’s a debate that further divides worshippers within the same denomination. The Apostle Paul makes it clear to the Ephesians that salvation is of Faith alone. The Apostle James states that Faith without works is dead. How do we make sense of these seemingly contradicting statements? Are they contradictory? What is the proper theological understanding of these two important aspects of Christianity?
