Sue,
Please change your direction on defining what depression is. It does not indicate a spiritual maturity or sin issue. It is a real disease that many millions of people suffer from.
Please stop stigmatizing people who suffer from it and stop repressing them down into a second-class status within he church, where everyone looks upon these people with suspicion while constantly inflicting humiliating and patronizing treatment upon them as if the condition is their fault.
The entire church needs to reform its ideas about depression toward a much more practical, modern understanding, and stop making use of the foisted, prejudicial methods that an archaic, very perverted and selective understanding of the bible gives them.
