The Problem Solving Devices of the Christian Way of Life (doctrine, church)

[Michael Way]

If you are a believer in the Lord Jesus Christ, that is, if you have placed your personal faith in Him for eternal salvation, then you have a responsibility to grow, to advance spiritually. At the cross Jesus Christ won the strategic victory over Satan. In your spiritual life you can achieve a tactical victory in the angelic conflict - the spiritual warfare in which every believer is involved, only if you advance to spiritual maturity. For that reason God commands you to grow up.

2 Peter 3:18 'but grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To Him be the glory, both now and to the day of eternity. Amen.

The means of growing in the grace and knowledge of Jesus Christ is through the consistent study and application of the doctrines and principles contained in the word of God.

2 Timothy 2:15 'Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.'

There are 10 Problem-Solving Devices which God has provided for the execution of the Christian Way of Life. These are:

1] Confession of sin/Rebound.

2] The filling of the Holy Spirit.

3] Faith-Rest.

4] Grace Orientation.

5] Doctrinal Orientation.

6] Personal Sense of Destiny.

7] Personal Love for God.

8] Impersonal Love for all mankind.

9] Sharing the Happiness of God.

10] Occupation with the Person of Christ.

For a detailed study on each of the Problem Solving devices I direct you to the following resource which is a non-denominational online doctrinal church. Please visit the other areas of the site as well where various categories of Bible doctrine and Bible studies are presented.

Excerpt:
The Problem-Solving Devices encompass every aspect of the Christian Way of Life, the victorious life that God has planned for every believer. The Problem-Solving Devices are to be used as a system of problem solving for every Christian, regardless of their stage of growth in the Christian life. In other words, no one ever outgrows the need to use all ten. Depending on the problem to be solved, the believer may use one or several of the devices simultaneously as the solution to any of life’s challenges. When learned, believed and applied, this system will stabilize, sustain, empower, and liberate the believer. Consistent utilization of the system will advance the believer far beyond what he can imagine, to a lifestyle of a relaxed mental attitude toward circumstances, toward self, toward others and most importantly, toward God.

Problem Solving Devices


You must live your own spiritual life before the Lord. No one else can live it for you. Whether or not you glorify the Lord depends on your decisions to learn, metabolize and apply Bible doctrine. You can become victorious in your spiritual life by advancing to and maintaining spiritual maturity which glorifies God, or you can choose to remain a spiritual infant and be a loser believer. It is a choice you must make.
