خودی اور غیرت سے کیا مراد ہے؟

خودی اور غیرت 

؂ خودی کو کر بلند اتنا کہ ہر تقدیر سے پہلے 
خد ا بندے سے خود پوچھے بتا تیری رضا کیا ہے (اقبال ؔ )
حضرت علامہ محمد اقبال ؒ کی ایجاد کر دہ اصطلاح ’’خودی‘‘جتنی عظیم ہے، ہمارے زیادہ تر فلاسفہ نے اس کو اتنا ہی ناقابل فہم اور ناقابل عمل بنا دیا ہے۔ بے شک کوئی چیز چاہے کتنی ہی عظیم ترہو مگر سمجھ سے بالا اور عملی زندگی میں نہ آسکے تو وہ بے سود ہو کر رہ جاتی ہے۔ بدقسمتی سے ’’خودی‘‘ کے ساتھ بھی یہی کچھ ہوا۔ حضرت علامہ ؒ نے پہلے مصرعہ میں لفظ ’’خودی ‘‘ تو دوسرے مصرعہ میں لفظ ’’خود‘‘ کا خوبصورت امتزاج پیدا کرکے ’’خودی‘‘کے ماخوذ(خودہی)کی جانب لطیف اشارہ دیا ہے۔ عام فہم اور سطحی سوچ میں ’’خودی‘‘سے مرادتکبر ،خود سر، اناپرست یا غرور مراد لیا جاتا ہے۔ مگر خیال رہے کہ حضرت علامہ ؒ کا شمار بذات خود بہت بلند پایہ صوفیاء کرامؒ میں ہوتا ہے۔ اگر ایسا ہی ہے ،جو کہ ہے ، تو پھر ’’تصوف‘‘ اور ’’انا‘‘بالکل متضاد چیزیں ہیں۔واضح رہے جس میں معمولی سی بھی’’انا‘‘ہو یا وہ ’’انا ‘‘کی تعلیم دیتا ہو، تو وہ کچھ بھی ہو سکتا ہے مگر صوفی نہیں۔ دوسری بات یہ ہے کہ اگر علامہ ؒ کی مراد ’’انایا ذات پسند ی ‘‘ہوتی تو پھر نئی اصطلاح ایجاد کرنے کی ضرورت کیوں پیش آتی، آپ ؒ سیدھے سیدھے ’’انا ‘‘کا لفظ استعمال فرماتے۔علاوہ ازیں یہاں خود ی کو بلند کرنے سے مراد وہ عاجزی ہے جو مقامِ رضاسے آگے مقامِ مرضیہ تک پہنچاتی ہے جس کا ذِکر ہم پچھلی حدیث شریف ﷺ میں پڑھ چکے ہیں۔ 

یہاں سمجھدار ی اور باریک بینی سے سمجھنے کی بات یہ ہے کہ ’’کبر‘‘ ش گ کی ایک عظیم صفت (المتکبر)ہے، جس کا ایک حصہ خالقیت کے دوران آدم میں عود کر آیا۔لہٰذا ’’کبر‘‘ کا وہی اثر و تاثیر جب تک اعتدال میں رہے تو وہ ’’خودی اور خوداری‘‘کہلاتا ہے مگر جب یہی صلاحیت حد سے بڑھ جائے تو ’’ غرور اور گھمنڈ ‘‘کی شکل اختیار کر لیتا ہے اور مذکورہ حدیث شریف ﷺ کے مطابق تکبر کا نتیجہ تو پستی ہے ۔ حقیقی معنوں میں ’’کبر‘‘(تکبر)خالق کی ذاتی ملکیت (Ownership) اور چادر ہے، مگر جب کوئی انسان اس میں سے اپنے آپ کو حصہ دار ٹھہرا تا ہے تو وہ نہ صرف جھوٹ بول رہا ہوتا ہے بلکہ سخت شرک میں مبتلا ہو رہا ہوتا ہے۔مگربلا شرکت غیرے ش گ کی قائم کردہ حدود میں رہتے ہوئے ’’خودداری او ر غیرت‘ ‘ ایک حقیقت اور عظمت والا مقام ہے، جو ش گ کا پسندیدہ عمل ہے۔ 

تخلیق کے فوراً بعد جب حضرت آدم ؑ کو خلیفۃ اللہ کا اعلیٰ منصب عطاء ہوا ، تو تمام مخلوق کو امر الٰہی ہوا کہ آدم ؑ کو سجدہ کرو۔ اس امر الٰہی پر تمام مخلوق سجدہ ریز ہو گئی سوائے ’’ عزازیل ‘‘کے، کیونکہ اس نے تکبر کیا اور پھر وہ ’’عزازیل‘‘سے ’’ابلیس‘‘ یعنی مایوس ہوگیا ۔ذرا غور کریں کہ کس طرح عزازیل کے اس سفر تنزلی سے قدرتی طور پر ثابت ہوتا ہے کہ ’’تکبر اگر بیج ہے تو مایوسی اس کا پھل‘‘۔ خیال رہے یہاں حضرت آدم ؑ کو سجدہ ایسے ہی تھا جیسے کہ مسلمان بیت اللہ شریف کے سامنے سجدہ ریز ہوتے ہیں یعنی سجدہ توش گ معبود حقیقی کو ہی ہوتا ہے، تاہم رخ قبلہ کو ہوتا ہے۔ش گ کے ہر امر کے راز تو انتہائی سمجھ اور سوجھ بوجھ کے متقاضی ہیں جو میری اوقات سے باہر ہیں،تاہم یہاں سجدہ کے اس ایک امر سے درج ذیل مقاصد سمجھ آتے ہیں۔ 
۱۔ آدم کو تمام مخلوق کا قبلہ ، ایسے ہی ٹھہرا دیا گیا، جیسے مسلمان کے لیے بیت اللہ۔ 
ب۔ آدم کی تعظیم اور تابعداری گویا ش گ کی تعظیم اور تابعدار ی ٹھہری۔ 
ج۔ ش گ نے مخلوق کی حکمرانی آدم کے ذمہ لگائی گویا وہ تمام مخلوق میں خلیفۃ اللہ ٹھہرا ۔
د۔ آدم سے افضل کوئی مخلوق نہیں ، گویا آدم تمام مخلوقات سے افضل ترین (احسن تقویم) مخلوق ٹھہرا۔ 

ر۔ آدم افضل ترین مخلوق ہے تو اس سے برتر ایک ہی ہے جو وحدہ لاشریک لہٗ ہے۔ گویا آدم کو جب بھی حاجت روائی چاہیے، وہ صرف اور صرف اپنے خالق و مالک کی طرف ہی رجوع کرے گا ۔ لہٰذا اس کی خودی (خود داری )کا تقاضا ہے کہ وہ کسی غیر کے آگے ہاتھ نہیں پھیلائے ۔ کیونکہ حاجت اور خودی دو متضاد قوتیں ہیں جو نہ صرف ایک دوسرے کی ضد بلکہ قیمت ہیں یعنی اگر حاجت پوری کرنی ہے توپھر خودی اس کی قیمت ہے جو اداکرنی ہوگی۔ 

علاوہ ازیںآدم کی تمام مخلوق میں عظمت کا ثبوت وجہ تخلیق کائنات ﷺ سے اس وقت بھی ثابت ہوا، جب فتح مکہ کے بعد بیت اللہ شریف کو بتوں سے پاک کرکے سیدنا حضرت بلالؓ کو حکم ہوا کہ بیت اللہ شریف کی چھت پر چڑ ھ کر اذان دو۔ آپؓ جب چھت پر چڑھ گئے تو چاروں طرف نظر دوڑا نے کے بعد حیرانی کے عالم میں کھڑے ہوگئے۔ رحمت للعالمین ﷺنے دریافت فرمایا توموذن رسول ﷺگویا ہوئے ، یا رسول اللہﷺ میرے ماں باپ آپ ﷺ پر قربان، میں نے جب بھی اذان دی بیت اللہ کی طرف رخ کیا۔ آج مجھے یہ عظمت نصیب ہوئی کہ میں بذات خود بیت اللہ پر کھڑا ہوں، تومتفکر ہوں کہ یہاں رخ کس طرف کروں ۔ سید البشر ﷺمسکرائے اور فرمایا آج رخ میری طرف کرلو اور اذان دو،گویا جہاں پر سمتیں مفقود ہوگئیں ، وہاں پر مقام محمود کے وارث ﷺ قطب نما ہوگئے۔سیدنا حضرت بلالؓ جو دنیاوی لحاظ سے بذات خود غریب ترین اور حسب نسب سے عاری ایک حبشی غلام تھے، ان کا عظمتوں والے بیت اللہ شریف پر چڑھ کر اذان دینا ،نہ صرف حسب نسب پر فخر کا قتل اور تقو یٰ کی عظمت کا ثبوت تھا بلکہ رخِ بلالی ،رحمت للعالمین ﷺکی طرف ہونے کا مطلب ایک بار پھر سجدہ آدم کی یاد آوری بھی تھا کہ ش گ کے بعد آدم ہی خلیفۃ اللہ ہے۔یہاں یہ بات بھی ذہن نشین رہے کہ ہادی برحق ﷺ کا سینہ امت کی محبت میں ایسے کھولتاتھا جیسے تندور پر ابلتی ہوئی ہنڈیا۔ گویا امت اور امت کی فکر ہر وقت آپ ﷺ کے قلب اور سینہ میں موجود ہے۔ دوسری جانب اس حدیث قدسی کو دیکھتے ہیں کہ جس میں مخبر صادق ﷺ فرماتے ہیں ،(تذکرۃ الموضوعات)
لَا یَسَعْنِیَ اَرْضِیْ وَلَاسَمَآءِیْ وَلٰکِنْ یَسَعْنِیْ قَلْبَ عَبْدِی الْمُؤْمِنِ ’’میں(اللہ) اپنی زمین اور آسمان میں نہیں سما سکتا ہاں میں اپنے بندہ مومن کے دل میں سما سکتا ہوں‘‘ 

انسان، مسلمان اور مومن کا تقابل

ایک عام انسان اور مسلمان کے تقابل میں مومن کی شان اور عظمت کا اندازہ کریں کہ جس کے قلب میں خالق و مالک سما سکتا ہے ۔ یہ سمجھنے کے بعد اس بات پر بھی غور کیجئے کہ سید المرسلین ﷺ جو تمام مومنین کے بھی سر دار ہیں، کے قلب مبارک میں ش گ اورامت دونوں بیک وقت موجود ہیں ۔اس مقام پر استاد محترم فرماتے ہیں کہ گویااس سے بڑی خوشخبری ہو ہی نہیں سکتی کہ قلب رسول ﷺ میں امتی، ش گ سے متصل اور پڑوسی ہی نہیں بلکہ ہم نشین بھی ہیں۔ اگر یہ نسبت ذہن نشین رہے تو پھر خودی(خودداری) کے لحاظ سے امتی تو تمام انسانوں میں بہترین (Supreme)مقام پر فائز ہیں۔ 


اس تمام عبارت کا مقصد یہ واضح کرنا ہے کہ ش گ کی صفات کا وہ حصہ جو دورانِ تخلیق آدم میں عود کر آیا، اسی کی برکت ’’خود داری اور غیرت‘‘ ایک ’’خودی‘‘کی شکل میں فطرتی طور پرانسان میں موجود ہے ۔ یہی ’’خودی اورغیرت‘‘جب اعتدال میں ہوتی ہے توبشر کی عظمتوں کی نشان بنتی ہے، مگر جب اعتدال سے ہٹ جائے تو’’ تکبر اور غرور‘‘ کی شکل اختیار کر جاتی ہے۔ خودی اور غیرت جیسے مقدس مقام کو مثال سے یوں سمجھ سکتے ہیں کہ بیت اللہ شریف تمام مسلمانوں کا قبلہ اور دعاؤں کی قبولیت کا مرکز ہے، مگر اگر بیت اللہ شریف دعاؤں کے لیے کسی ذیلی مسجد ، مزاریا درگاہ کا مرہون منت ہوجائے تو وہ اپنی عظمت کے مقام سے ہٹ جائے گا۔ بعینہٖ آدم غیراللہ کے آگے جھک جائے تو ’’خودی اور غیرت‘‘ کے مقام سے گر جائے گا، جو شرک کے زمرے میں آئے گا ۔ لہٰذا اس فطرتی خوبی ’’خودی و غیرت ‘‘کو جتنا بلند کرتا جائے گا اتنا ہی عظمت والا ہو کر قربت الہٰ حاصل کر جائے گا اور علامہ ؒ کے شعر میں درج ’’مقام رضا ‘‘ سے بھی آگے ’’مقام مرضیہ‘‘ پائے گا ۔

Mid-Life Crisis? 10 steps you must take now to save your life

Mid-Life Crisis

1. Stop working

Thats right, you read this correct. Stop working and start living. Living with daily joy, happiness and purpose is worth striving for. It is enjoyable and refills the water glass of life with more energy, more passion and more excitement!
Start by finding new work which feels like a better alignment of what you truly are interested in and either have or can learn the required abilities. Many people continue to simply work at things which they are good at but no longer have interest in.

2. Find some greater purpose

Identify and find something you feel strongly about or which bothers you about the world and do something about it. For example in America, it bothers me that we are spending billions of dollars in needless wars while our own cities fall apart. We are now a nation of have and have-nots when it comes to medical care. Our educational system is deeply flawed with too much focus on scores and grades and little focus on learning; not to mention too costly as well.
Pick something which really bothers you and build a life purpose around it. Your life will never be the same for the better

3. Stand up for your beliefs

Dont be afraid to finally live your life through your causes. Drive yourself finally through internal reward vs. external recognition. Replace old beliefs which are no longer useful with new ones which better serve you

4. Be resilient

Stay focused- strive for more happiness in your life. Make this a goal in itself. Be selfish and define for yourself what being happy really means to you. Despite the barriers and hurdles we must all cross on the journey to more meaning and fulfillment in our lives, keep this vision clear at all times

5. Stay organized and structured

Have a plan for your life. This includes your daily living and your long term goals. Without a plan for ones life with clear intent, when the crisis hits and it will, your personal roadmap and plan will get you through

6. Surround yourself with love

There is no need to be lonely in ones life. Surround yourself with people you love. If necessary, find new people to love and receive love from. Build up your relationships in your life which nurture and support your personal roadmap.

7. Learn to accept your mistakes

This is easier said then done! We are good at beating ourselves up when things go wrong and seldom take the time to reflect when things go well. How can you be more of our own best friend? Learn to accept you as you are. Ask yourself; what can I learn from this past experience? What new wisdom can I gain from my actions? Realize that everything you do or did was for a good reason at the time. Learn to love yourself more and others will too.

8. Dont let the mundane slow you down

Dont let the mundane aspects of life slow you down. Yes, laundry has to be washed, cars need gas, lunches need to be made, and bills need to be paid. Ensure however that each and every day you identify the most important actions you must take to move you towards what you want vs. what you do not want in your life.

9. Take care of your body and mind

Eat well, sleep well and exercise daily. Take time each day to reflect on your feelings and thoughts. Heard this before? Well, it works. When our bodies and minds are stressed, we lose sight of our goals and what is most important to us in our lives. Writing is a good way to reflect on how you doing. Start a daily journal- just before bed; answer the question; what did I learn today about myself and others?

10. Seek joy not pain

Re-align your life and your work around the sole purpose of acquiring more joy, meaning and happiness in your life. This is in abundance in the world. You just must redesign your life with the intent to create more of it for yourself.

Mid-life Crisis?

Refocus your attention now on what would be perfect for you in your life. Create a new vision and take small steps each and every day with the intent towards creating more joy in your life. It will make your crisis suddenly feel like a crusade. This is good.

law of attraction

In a nutshell the law of attraction states that 'like attracts like', but the scope of this laws goes deeper than the literal meaning of these simple words. At present, the scientific world accepts the law of attraction as a theory but practitioners of the law come up with tangible statements that show that is works in a variety of ways. The law in a deeper sense explains that the dominant thoughts of a person define their reality. In this regard, you are not what you think you are but you are a person defined by your most prolific thoughts. Read on to find out exactly what the law of attraction is and how it applies to your life and that of other individuals.


In this world, various laws of nature operate harmoniously and in a fixed way, as they should because they are laws. They include the law of gravity as well as that of action and reaction. These are the most common laws because they manifest in the physical phone. Every piece of matter eventually falls to the ground when no force holds it suspended. At the same time all actions cause an equal and opposite reaction for nature to maintain its balance. In the same way, at the thought level, every thought causes a manifestation of that thought in a person's reality. If you think more about a donkey then you will notice things related to donkeys and if it is physically possible, you will see an actual donkey.

Many people dismiss the law of attraction because they lack sufficient evidence to explain its presence and actions in their lives. In the donkey example above, a person will find it hard to keep thinking about a donkey when such a creature does not interest him or her, and in this case, it will be difficult to quantify the claim of attraction. Only pertinent thoughts that are genuinely initiated in our minds create the attraction effect in our reality. Thoughts are energy waves and the genuine ones, whether based on fear or courage, hold more energy potential than the superficial ones.

Choosing your reaction to life's circumstances will affect your dominant thoughts about your future in the immediate and long-term sense. If you decide to focus on the bad things that will happen in your life, and actually accompany that thought with the emotions of fear, regret and frustration, then that is all that you will notice and consequently attract in your life.

A good illustration of this point comes from the habits of poor people who avoid purchasing things in bulk to enjoy discounts because they are fearful of not having sufficient money to pay other bills and emergencies. As they withhold their expenditure, they also keep on create many emergencies where their supplies suddenly run out. Overall, their thoughts on insufficiency cause them to make poor decisions that contribute more to their insufficient realities. On the other hand, people who think about abundance in their lives will shop in bulk and enjoy discounts that allow them leave them with enough disposable cash to cushion them against unforeseen circumstance. In essence, that is how the law of attraction works, where you attract and become what you think about most of the time.

Self-Confidence: The Missing Millionaire Link

"If you hear a voice within you say "you cannot paint," then by all means paint, and that voice will be silenced." - Vincent Van Gogh
"I love creepy old dudes. I love that they have so much self-confidence, despite having no evidence whatsoever to back it up." - Ke$ha, popstar
"What the heck am I doing?" I thought as I drove in to the nudist colony.
I had just finished "orientation" at what I thought was going to be a job working in a warehouse for $7 an hour. "Those positions are all full," the guy at the front of the room informed us. "All we have left are these jobs selling vacuum cleaners for straight commission."
As I got up to leave he started telling us a story of how he had sat in the same chair we were sitting in and how he was now driving a red BMW* and flying places. "Fine I'll at least stay and listen," I thought. I was only seventeen years old, and I really wanted both those things.
Next thing you know I'm driving two hours across three towns to some place called "Paradise Lakes" with a $1,700 vacuum cleaner riding shotgun. "This thing costs more than my car," I thought to myself. "I gotta get that red Beemer."
So I pull up to the guard gate and the first thing I notice is the guard isn't wearing a shirt. But I can only see the upper half of his body, and I'm beginning to suspect things.
Shirtless Security: Howdy.
Me: I'm here to see Mr. and Mrs. Iforgettheirnames. I have an appointment with them at one o clock.
Shirtless Security: Ok, you're all set. Enjoy.
"Enjoy? Enjoy what?" I wonder apprehensively.
I quickly found out as the gate swung open. Naked people. Everywhere. Not cute one's either unfortunately.
You ever have one of those moments where you see something so absolutely horrifying and you try to look away, but no matter how hard you try, you just can't? This was one of those moments. I felt like the fabric of reality had just ripped open and I was getting a glimpse of an alternate universe that was trying to suck me in.
It turns out the owner of this particular vacuum cleaning distributorship had a sense of humor. He initiates all his new salesmen (I was seventeen) with sales calls to the local two-hour-away nudist colony.
"Screw it. I want that Beemer." I drove up to my prospects building.
"Knock knock."


Fully Nude Prospect: Yes?
Me: Hi, I'm here to do the demo.
Fully Nude Prospect: Where's my free prize?
Me: It's in my pocket. I have to do the demo first.
Fully Nude Prospect: Ok come on in.
I kid you not … I sat there in front of a fully unclothed 80 year old couple doing a vacuum demo for what seemed like 3 days. I was beginning to think it was all an elaborate conspiracy to kidnap me into the colony, but out of nowhere the lady just stood up (I just threw up in my mouth a little bit remembering this) and goes "we'll take it."
Me: You'll take what?
Fully Nude Prospect: The vacuum cleaner. What else?
Me: Are you serious? It's $1,700. This place is 500 sf.
Fully Nude Prospect: So what?
Me: It's all tile.
Fully Nude Prospect: Do you want to sell this thing or not, son?
Long story short, she handed my $1,700 in five dollar bills and penny rolls, and, after stopping for a quick game of naked volleyball, I got the heck out of there. I repeated that process a bunch of times (thankfully not at nudist colonies), dropped out of high school, never went to college, switched from vacuum cleaners to real estate, currently drive a 7 series BMW, and I fly places.
I even had the pleasure of flipping two houses to the owner of that vacuum distributorship just a few years ago. Anyone who doesn't think this is a true story can stalk my mom Susan Ely down on Facebook and ask her.
And I tell you THAT sick story, to say THIS …
What in the world gave me the confidence to think I could take a $1,700 vacuum -- which may as well have been a million dollars as far as I was concerned back then -- and sell it to anyone, let alone a naked person with no carpet?
Answer: I have absolutely no idea.
I just did it. I knew I could do it, and I did it.
Some people say the key to self-confidence is being prepared, but honestly I've never really prepared much. I've just always gone out and done the dang thing.
"Well good for you, Preston. That's you. I'm me." No, you're not -- not anymore. That's the whole point of this. Study "mirror neurons." You're becoming me as you read. So keep reading.
When I think deeply about what has attributed to my success in life, "self-confidence, despite having no evidence whatsoever to back it up," as skankstar Ke$ha says, seems to be the underlying factor. I've just always believed that I can do anything I set my mind to. A big part of it has been my utter, total and complete disregard for what any human on earth thinks about me. So "fear of failure" never entered the picture.
Maybe it was the fact that my dad used to tell me "son, you are the best" in regards to anything I happened to be doing. He must have told me that a thousand times. Did your dad tell you that? No? Well allow me to temporarily adopt you and be your daddy for a day …
You are the best, my son (daughter). There is something you were born to be the best at, and you are going to find it and be the best!
Your alternative is mediocrity, and I know you are not going to settle for that.
You're in my world now, and no one loses in my world.
You can do it. Whatever it is you are trying to accomplish right now, I am telling you, you can do it.
How do I know this? Because I did it! And I'm nobody! I just read a bunch of books and got busy. Whoopty doo. It's not rocket science. But you have got to believe in yourself. You have to KNOW that you are going to succeed. You have to realize that you have it in you to change your life (because you do) and make your dreams come true.
Newsflash -- the people up there on stage getting the awards aren't special; you know that right? They're not like aliens from outer space and you're just a mere mortal. Believing that is keeping you average. They simply had the guts to chase their dream, the willpower to stick it out through the "dues paying" period, and they believed in themselves. You've got to believe. You absolutely must increase your faith in what you're capable of or you're doomed before you even start.
I am convinced all of humanity is born with more gifts than we know. Most are born geniuses and just get de-geniused rapidly." - Buckminster Fuller
Listen, there are two types of people in this world -- people who make things happen and people who have things happen to them -- people who are causes and people who are effects.
You've got to take control, start creating your reality, and set yourself up to win.
You have to take responsibility for your life and realize the truth. And the truth is this …
Every single person on earth was born to be great; it's just a matter of "at what?"
There is greatness in every single person.
There is greatness in YOU.
But it's up to you to find it, believe in it, develop it, and live it out.
And if you just can't manage to find self-confidence no matter how hard you try? Freakin fake it.
Open up a blank Word document right now and type out "I can do it" one thousand times. I'm not kidding. Do it now. I do stuff like this all the time. Then leave a comment below to tell me how you feel.
* He left out the fact that it was a 3 series and it took him 17 years, but oh well; I got my first lesson in Convenient Detail Omission Marketing.

Live a Better Life Through Service and Love

If you are new to the area or have been in the area for a while but feel as though there is something missing in your life, look for a church in the city of Denver. You can bet in your search you will find that piece of the puzzle that is missing in your mind and your heart. If you feel comfortable praying, that would be your first step. Find a quiet comfortable place and pour your heart out to God and ask him to guide you to the place in which you will feel happy and fulfilled. After you take that first step, you can look for a church that will help you grow spiritually as well as socially.


If you are looking for a Christian church you can be sure that you will find a place to learn more about God and Jesus as well as the Holy Spirit. You can learn about the basic principles of faith, hope, and love and how your belief in God can help you garner these qualities in your own life. You will also be able to better love the Triune God with your whole self. Along with bettering yourself and your spiritual life you will be able to follow Christ through word, life, and deed.
Â
Community
Although you want to go to church to increase your faith in God and Jesus, there is most definitely a social piece of the worship puzzle. Many sociologists and psychologists have done study after study on how social interaction and inclusion affects faith. When you have a community of friends that share the same beliefs that you do your faith can strengthen those in which you associate and vice versa. You can search and find a Bible study group or a parenting group in which to join and you will strengthen your faith as you strengthen friendships.
Â
Service
The last thing you want to consider when choosing a church in the city of Denver is the aspect of service. Studies have shown that the best way to increase a person's self-esteem without also increasing their pride is through service. When you are studying the life of Jesus Christ you learn that he spent his life, and death, in service to others. In order to properly worship Christ you need to emulate the life of service he had. You can also leave the world a better place by serving others.
