Psychological needs and Christians

Many believers ignore the psychological conditions of themselves and others’. Psychology is not considered as essential part in many churches. Some churches do not care of it even they know about it very well.
Human beings are composed of mind and physical body. They should never lack of anything of those. Physical and psychological conditions are totally related with each others. On damage of one, another will be overlapped.
Many churches fail because of lacking in both fields, especially in psychology. Humans mind are being shaped by his surrounding societies. One person may conceptualize the ideas of his own society while another person does in another society. But, we know that every society is not good. A good man is a product of a good society.
Society refers to family, friends, neighbors and coworkers, etc. The impact of society on human minds is visibly measurable. For example, Hitler hatred Jews because he had seen Jewish people extort and earn unjust interest on his own Germans. This view led him to kill more than 4 millions of Jews. This was a great negative society impact that Hitler had. Hitler’s mind was totally molded by his own society.
Therefore, psychological cares for church members are absolutely needed.
In order to forbid negative psychological impacts on church members, Christians have to prevent dangerous social regulations and ideas, such as accepting abortion as a right to do. Nowadays, people become so liberal that they can not see clearly of ethical values. The liberty becomes a tool to do whatever they like. People become egocentric. Societies’ moral values are being reduced. These are the significances of damaged and unbalanced psychological situations of world’s peoples.
What do Christians need to do now? We, Christians, take charge only when the problem prevails. Christians should know that prevention is better than cure. Every church members should be on the way that God wants them to be in. Christians are responsible to take care of each other. That responsibility is not only of pastors. As the conclusion, we should be also very sensitive to each other’s physic psychological needs not just physical needs.
