Zitat des Tages von Joni Eareckson Tada:
Cancer is such a wake-up call to remind us how high the cosmic stakes really are and how short and brief and frail life really is.
In the Christian faith, God really puts suffering front and center. He doesn't get squeamish about it.
My life goal is to see the world's one billion people with disabilities embraced and encouraged by the church.
One problem I have with faith-healing is that it tends to be focused only on the physical aspect of healing. But Jesus always backed away when people came to him only to get their physical needs met. My goodness, he was ready to have you lop off your hand! His real interest was in healing the soul.
My weakness, that is, my quadriplegia, is my greatest asset because it forces me into the arms of Christ every single morning when I get up.
Life becomes inspiring, not in spite of the problems and the hard hits, but because of them.
If churches around the world would grasp the revolutionary truth that Christ's transforming power always comes through sacrifice and weakness, it would dramatically alter the landscape of the global church.
Like all good citizens, the elderly and people with disabilities want to eradicate waste and fraud from government, but helping people with special needs meet their basic needs doesn't fit this description.
