No Blessing Like Health — With the Exception of Sickness
WEBHe was not joking when he quipped, “I dare say the greatest earthly blessing that God can give to any of us is health, with the exception of sickness. . . . Affliction is the best bit of furniture in my house. It is the best book in a minister's library” (An All-Round Ministry, 384).

Nine Marks of a Healthy Church/Conclusion
WEBThe health of the church should be the concern of all Christians, particularly of those who are called to be leaders in the church. Our churches are to display God and His glorious Gospel to His creation. We are to bring Him glory by our lives together. This burden of display is our awesome responsibility and it is our tremendous privilege.
Can Sickness Be Better Than Health
WEBIn most world religions, health and prosperity are the reward for a good and faithful life, while sickness and suffering are curses, the result of evil deeds in this life or a past one. The American prosperity “gospel” perpetuates these lies, equating health and material blessings with our faithfulness and God’s favor, and sickness with a
My Flesh and My Heart Did Fail
WEBLearning from a Health Scare. Two weeks before Christmas, my heart stopped. Seated next to me in a congregational meeting, my wife sees me close my eyes and slump. After a few seconds, the old ticker providentially revives “on its own.” It happens four times during that meeting. Maybe I’m just too inactive, I think.
My Soul Thirsts for You
WEBIf you’re health conscious, perhaps you think of water regularly as part of your overall wellness regimen — a disciplined hydration. But how much do you think of water when you’re thirsty? A lot. You can’t help it. It’s near the forefront of your mind. The thirstier you feel, the more water dominates your thoughts.
Toward a Definition of the Essence of Biblical Counseling
WEB10. Joyfully self-forgetting lovers of people - (Philippians 1:25; 2 Corinthians 1:24; 1 Corinthians 16:14; 1 Timothy 1:5; Galatians 5:6): The aim of all health is God-centered, Christ-exalting love for people. Love is not possible where self-preoccupation holds sway in a person's life. So self-forgetfulness is a part of true mental health.
Nine Marks of a Healthy Church/Expositional Preaching
WEBThat is how our own spiritual health has come, and that is how our churches’ health will come, too. Especially important for anyone in leadership in a church, but particularly for the pastor of the church, is a commitment to expositional preaching, one of the oldest methods of preaching. This is preaching whose object is to expound what is
Nine Marks of a Healthy Church/Biblical Theology
WEBExpository preaching is important for the health of a church. Yet every method, however good, is open to abuse, and therefore must be open to being tested. In our churches, our concern should be not only with how we are taught, but with what we are taught. We should cherish soundness, particularly in our understanding of the God of the Bible
God’s Promise for the Disappointed
WEBAlso pray over God’s promise that he will take care of everything else you need (health, work, money) in such a way that it will bring you even more of him (Philippians 4:13, 19; Matthew 6:33). Continue to pray for the other things you desire (healing, employment, children, marriage), but fight to keep trusting in Jesus as your all-satisfying
What Does a Faith Crisis Feel Like
WEBIn relation to faith-health, this kind of doubt is more like a heart attack or stroke. “I know the oppressive spiritual darkness, the agonizing fear, the confusion, disorientation, the sense of isolation.” I say this from experience. Like everyone, I occasionally battle some doubts that are like a cold or the flu.
When the Detour Becomes Your New Road
WEBThat’s what I thought when my health took a detour, and I found myself on a road I hadn’t anticipated. A road I wasn’t prepared for. A road I didn’t want to travel. Laura Story understands how that feels. Everything radically changed after her husband was diagnosed with a brain tumor. Watching him struggle to breathe and withstand
Boasting Only in the Cross
WEBWe simply take life and breath and health and friends and everything for granted. We think it is ours by right. But the fact is that it is not ours by right. We are doubly undeserving of it. 1) We are creatures and our Creator was not bound or obligated to give us anything - not life or health and anything. He gives, he takes, and he does us no
The Danger of Deserting Community
WEBIt is more like a committed therapist who unfailingly — this is God — sees to it that we hold to the health regimen that brings us to everlasting glory. Eternal Security Is a Group Project. I totally believe in eternal security. Jesus said, “I give them eternal life, and they will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand.
When Every Hope Seems Lost
WEBMy health was spiraling downward, and I was struggling to even care for myself, let alone two adolescent daughters. I was at one of the lowest points in my life. While I had previously known a deep relationship with God, I was now struggling to believe that God loved me. My relentless pain had convinced me that my situation would never change.
What Does It Really Mean to Be Blessed
WEBMy health spiraled downward. My family fell apart. My dreams were shattered. And yet, in the midst of those painful events, I experienced God’s richest blessings. A stronger faith than I had experienced before. A deeper love than I had ever known. A more intimate walk than I could explain. My trials grounded my faith in ways that prosperity
I Was Warned by Job This Morning
WEBHis fall from health, wealth, and family wholeness was not owing to an evil lifestyle. Whatever remnants of pride lying in the bottom of Job’s glass of holiness, which God meant to expose and purge, he was a faithful man, no worse than you or I. But he was prominent. Very prominent. He was utterly successful.
Devotions Aren't Magic
WEBSoul Exercise (1 Corinthians 9:24, Romans 15:4): We exercise our bodies to increase strength, endurance, promote general health, and keep unnecessary weight off. Devotions are like exercise for our souls. They force our attention off of self-indulgent distractions and pursuits and on to God’s purposes and promises. If we neglect this exercise
Gospel Translations:About
WEBFalse gospels will be preached uncontested, and new converts will either be led astray or become disillusioned with the faith when their expectations of health and wealth go unrealized. Our hope is that by producing and freely distributing translations of gospel-centered books and articles, many will come to know and put their faith in the true
Escape from Every Temptation
WEBLet’s examine the three primary ways this text explains how Jesus, as our high priest, helps us in temptation. 1. He makes us offspring of Abraham. First, our merciful and faithful high priest “helps the offspring of Abraham” (Hebrews 2:16). The New Testament makes clear that the offspring of Abraham are not primarily his genetic
