Don't be self-conscious, be Christ-conscious!

Shyness is a combination of two things--fear and pride! We are afraid of what people think about us. A certain amount of this is all right, we should like to be well thought of. But on the other hand, the Bible says we're not to be worried about the opinions of men, nor to fear what men think or say about us if we're doing what we know is right. (Pro.29:25; John 12: 42,43)

Timidity, shyness and bashfulness are basically fear which is the opposite of faith. So to overcome fear you must have more faith. The cure is faith, strong faith in God, and this comes through reading His Words and being filled with His Spirit! If you think about how much He loves you, you become less self-conscious and more God-conscious, and this is the cure.

Keep your mind on the Lord. "Thou shalt keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on Thee." (Isa.26:3) Immerse yourself in the Lord and He will help you forget yourself. Throw your whole heart into pleasing the Lord and sharing Him with others, and the Lord will help you to lose that self-consciousness so that you will only be conscious of Christ and His Message and His Love and your love for others!

Has He freed you from self-consciousness?

Deep Truths is a collection of the basic teachings of David Brandt Berg who was my pastor for 20 years and who led me on a path of service for Jesus Christ and showed me how to love God and others. I have been a missionary for Christ in Japan from 1974 to the present with the exception of 4 years in other countries, specifically Russia, China, Estonia and Poland. My hope is this website will inspire and feed God's sheep.

You probably won't hear some of these teachings in any public school or church! It is my earnest desire that by reading these articles you will have a major paradigm shift in your life to perceive reality the way your Creator wants you to perceive it!

Deep Truths is dedicated to the Bible based teachings of David Brandt Berg (1919-1994), with the hope that from them you may find eternal spiritual life in Jesus Christ, the Son of God!

Deep Truths was first created on Jan. 5, 2004 in Niigata Japan. It is not an official web site of The Family International. By not "official", I mean it is not directly sponsored by the Family International World Services. Most of the articles on Deep Truths are publications from the Family International, but some of the opinions stated in the introduction to the articles are those of the webmaster, James Arendt. From January 2017 I have begun to post some different views and interpretations of Scripture that are not based on David Berg or the Family International's teachings.

The present site layout HTML/CSS code is from Beginner’s Guide To: Building HTML5/CSS3 Webpages and was created in February 2017 to make it mobile device friendly.
