Matthew 10:24-39

Matthew 10:24-36“Brave Servants”
June 19, 2005

Last week we began looking at being a servant of Christ. We looked at Matthew 9:35 – 10:8 – and considered what it meant to be what I called a “compassionate servant” – caring for others and sharing God’s love with them because God has cared for us and shown His love to us — and calls us to care for and calls us to share His love with others.
The Gospel reading for today has Jesus continuing His conversation with the disciples about what it means to serve Him.
To serve Christ it takes compassion.
It also takes bravery.
Now – you may be wondering why it takes bravery to serve Christ.
Well, Jesus answers that question very directly in our passage for today.
Jesus knew what was awaiting Him in Jerusalem. He knew that He was going to be arrested – tried – mocked – abused – and crucified – not for anything He had done wrong but for what we have done wrong — but He still bravely went to Jerusalem and endured it all – so our sins could be forgiven.
He also knew that the disciples were going to be persecuted and some were going to be killed because they believed in Jesus.
It only made sense.

A disciple is not above the teacher, nor a slave above the master; 25it is enough for the disciple to be like the teacher, and the slave like the master. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebul, how much more will they malign those of his household!

In other words, if Jesus was going to be mistreated and abused and ridiculed and – the authorities thought – killed – the disciples could expect the same thing! But like Jesus the disciples needed to be brave in serving Him.
Compassionate servants – yes.
But also brave servants.
When Jesus said this, He knew that he was going to die on a cross, and He knew that life for his disciples would be hard. He warned them that their lives would be no easier than his — although, at the time, they didn’t understand how difficult that would be.
Jesus went on to tell them to have no fear of his opponents. He said, “Do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul.”
Now — that is scary talk.
I don’t know about you, but I fear those who can kill the body. I try to be careful where I walk at night. I lock my doors. Killing the soul is bad, but killing the body isn’t wonderful either. This is serious, scary stuff alright!
Jesus says here:

“Everyone who acknowledges me before others, I also will acknowledge before my Father in heaven.”

What does it mean to “acknowledge” Jesus?
The King James uses the word “confess” –
“Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven.”
Whether we use “acknowledge” or “confess,” Jesus means that we should give some sort of evidence, by word or deed, that we accept him as Lord.
But – acknowledging Jesus as Lord – and bravely doing so – regardless of what others might think or do or say – isn’t easy!
Serving Christ isn’t easy!
Acknowledging Christ is not easy!
Being a follower of Christ is not easy!
We need to be brave servants!
Jesus was telling the disciples that He expected them to remain faithful — to continue their public witness — even in the face of danger.

“Everyone who acknowledges me before others, I also will acknowledge before my Father in heaven.”

When Jesus promised to acknowledge His disciples in heaven, He was pointing toward the great day at the end of history when God will gather us before His throne to determine whether we are sheep or goats — the sheep being rewarded and the goats being punished. Jesus was promising on that day to stand with His disciples — to protect them — to be their spokesman — their defender.

“Everyone who acknowledges me before others, I also will acknowledge before my Father in heaven.

But he went on to warn,

“Whoever denies me before others, I also will deny before my Father in heaven.”

> He was telling them — telling us — that Christian discipleship is an either-or proposition. He expects our loyalty, even if the going gets tough.
We need to be brave servants – no matter what.
It is not unusual for the going to get tough.
You would think that people would welcome Christians — would encourage them — would be drawn to the witness of their lives.
That, however, is often not the case.
Christians have the habit of telling the truth even when the truth is uncomfortable.
Sometimes Christians must say that the emperor is naked.
Sometimes Christians must say that the rich and famous are stealing from the poor.
As a result, Christians who do the right thing often find themselves in hot water.
That’s what happened to Martin Niemoeller.
Niemoeller was a Lutheran pastor in Berlin when Hitler came to power. He protested Nazi interference in church affairs and Nazi persecution of Jews. He started the movement that grew to become the Confessing Church — a church that opposed Hitler and his policies.
Hitler hated Niemoeller, and in 1938 had him arrested.
Niemoeller was a brave man, but he feared what lay ahead.
But –as he was being led down a long corridor to the courtroom where he would be tried, he heard a voice quietly quoting, in Latin, a verse from the Book of Proverbs:
“Nomen Domini turris fortissimo,” the voice said.
“The name of the Lord is a strong tower.”
The Latin was from the Catholic liturgy, which is surely how the guard knew them — but Niemoeller knew them too.
“Nomen Domini turris fortissimo” — “The Lord is a strong tower.”
It was a call for Niemoeller to have courage, even as he entered the lion’s den.
Those words gave Niemoeller strength to face what lay ahead.
When I read that story, I was amazed not only at Niemoeller’s courage, but also at the courage of that guard. If anyone else had understood his words, he would have shared Niemoeller’s fate. I won’t know that guard’s name until I get to heaven, but I think of him as one of the great heroes of the Christian faith. “Nomen Domini turris fortissimo” — “The Lord is a strong tower.”
Niemoeller was imprisoned at Dachau, where so many died. He survived seven years in that concentration camp — survived to help rebuild the church in Germany and to lead his people to face their guilt.
He is famous for these words:

First they came for the communists
and I did not speak out because I was not a communist.
Then they came for the trade unionists
and I did not speak out because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Jews
and I did not speak out because I was not a Jew.
Finally, they came for me
and there was no one left to speak out.

Jesus said, ”

Everyone who acknowledges me before others, I also will acknowledge before my Father in heaven

.”
This is a call to be brave disciples – brave servants – brave witnesses for Christ.
This month’s issue of Christianity Today magazine tells about Hamid Pourmand, an Assemblies of God lay pastor who faces charges in Iran of “apostasy from Islam” and of proselytizing Muslims. Both ‘crimes’ are punishable by death.
Jesus says, ”

Everyone who acknowledges me before others, I also will acknowledge before my Father in heaven

.”
This is a call to be brave disciples – brave servants – brave witnesses for Christ.
A few weeks ago there was an article in the Wall Street Journal about how the government is trying to stop Su Xueling from telling others about Christ.
Ms. Su was the daughter of a communist, and knew nothing of Christ until she was in her 30s. When her husband was dying of cancer fifteen years ago, a nurse suggested that she might find solace in Christianity. Struggling with grief and debt — trying to make a living selling noodles door to door — Ms. Su visited a church. One thing led to another, and Ms. Su became a Christian.
Through friends, she began to raise money for a noodle factory. When she opened it, she named her business Gospel Foodstuffs, Ltd., and printed “Gospel Noodles” boldly on the packages. Her business prospered, and a friend challenged her to donate money to start a seminary. The seminary prospered and grew until it was serving 200 students. Refusing to bend to a law forbidding evangelizing, the seminary even taught Arabic in the hope of sending missionaries to the Middle East.
But then the government shut down the school and Ms. Su’s noodle business. Later, they backed down, in part because Ms. Su was popular — they couldn’t afford to treat her roughly. Ms. Su doesn’t plan to restart her noodle business, but she does plan to start a private school, and is raising money for that purpose.
Jesus says, ”

Everyone who acknowledges me before others, I also will acknowledge before my Father in heaven

.”
This is a call to be brave disciples – brave servants – brave witnesses for Christ
Christianity is spreading rapidly in China in spite of government efforts to contain it. We think that there are half as many Christians in China today as in the U.S. in spite of generations of persecution, and I believe that the church in China will within a few years grow larger than the church in the U.S. Nobody knows the numbers of Christians in China for sure, because so many belong to house churches that worship underground — but Christians are becoming bolder day by day. The revival that began in the countryside is sweeping through cities, where businesspeople and professionals are converting to Christianity and using their resources to further the gospel.
Jesus says, ”

Everyone who acknowledges me before others, I also will acknowledge before my Father in heaven

”
This is a call to be brave disciples – brave servants – brave witnesses for Christ
Which brings me to this question –
What are you doing to acknowledge Jesus publicly?
What are you doing to spread the word about Christ?
When the time comes for you to stand before Christ, how will you respond when he asks, “What did you do to acknowledge me?” What will you say?
There are many ways to acknowledge Christ publicly:
— Your presence here in worship today is public acknowledgement of your faith.
— When you read your children a Bible story or have prayer with them at bedtime, you are acknowledging Christ.
— When you pray before eating, you are acknowledging Christ.
— When you give money to support the church, you are acknowledging Christ.
— When you donate money to agencies that reach out with God’s love to the others, you are acknowledging Christ.
— When you do an act of kindness for a person in need, you are acknowledging Christ.
— When you stand up for the poor and oppressed, you are acknowledging Christ.
— When you render any service to the church, whether it is sweeping the floor or washing the dishes or fixing a broken handrail, you are acknowledging Christ.
Now — none of those things is especially costly or difficult.
The question is whether you are doing them.
You see – if you fail to acknowledge Christ in the ways that are not very difficult – you will probably fail to acknowledge Him if you had to in the more difficult ways.
How do you acknowledge Christ – in the not so difficult – and yes – even difficult – ways?
And the final question is, if the ways you may be acknowledging Christ that are not so difficult suddenly became costly or difficult, would you continue to acknowledge Christ — to serve Christ — to witness to Christ?
If Nazis or Communists or Muslim extremists were to seize control, would you continue in your faithful witness?
Jesus said, ”

Everyone who acknowledges me before others, I also will acknowledge before my Father in heaven

.”
This is a call to be brave disciples – brave servants – brave witnesses for Christ.
Be brave.
Be a brave servant – for Christ.
AMEN

Matthew 9:35-10:8

MATTHEW 9:35-10:8“COMPASSIONATE WORKERS”
JUNE 12, 2005

Some of you may watch the TV show on CBS “60 Minutes”. Even if you don’t watch it, you probably know that it’s a show in a News Magazine format where newsmakers are interviewed and stories are reported by the likes of Dan Rather and Ed Bradley. It is usually a pretty good show – with investigative reporting that has – at times – helped uncover things we need to know about – even if at times their stories have turned out to be false and even at times biased.
I watch the Sunday Night version of the show at times – when I’m home and not working or blogging or instant messaging my nephew or watching sports – or if Sally’s home watching something else on TV –
so I guess I don’t watch it very often —
but when I do I enjoy the commentary by Andy Rooney – a curmudgeon of a guy who usually has funny comments on things he sees around him or things in the news.
Andy Rooney sometimes begins his commentary with:
“Don’t you just hate it when”…
then he proceeds to talk about – and poke fun at — something he does not like.
Well – with all apologies to Andy –
don’t you just hate it when … you go into a store – and the clerks don’t seem to care?
You know — when the clerks don’t pay you any attention at all — or –
the flip side of that – when they pay you too much attention – but it’s obvious they are only trying to make a sale – and don’t really care if they have truly met your need or not?
Don’t you just hate it when you can tell the clerk is not trying to understand your need – but only trying to sell you their product as quickly as possible – even if it’s not what you need?
Don’t you just hate it when you leave the store thinking: “That sales person doesn’t care about me – just my money?”
I might give this idea to Andy Rooney – he would probably give a lot of funny but true illustrations of this. And he might pay well for a good idea.
It’s not a good feeling – is it?
It’s not a good feeling when you feel that a clerk in a store is more interested in a sale than in you – or just is not interested, period.
But we get that feeling sometimes – not just wondering if sales clerks are interested but if anyone is truly interested any more.
In our busy, hectic, stressed world – we may wonder if any one really cares any more.
So many times we deal with automated responses on the phone – and may wonder if we will ever talk to a real person – and when we do they are so rude we feel the automated responses may have been friendlier.
Or we might go to a restaurant – and it is obvious the people working there are not excited about it – and could really care less.
Coming back from South Carolina a few weeks ago Sally and I went through a McDonalds drive through for a quick supper. It was obvious from the time the voice came over the speaker to take our order:
“Welcome to McDonalds – may I take your order?”
until we picked up our order and she said:
“Thank you for choosing McDonalds”
that she really did not want to take our order – and wished we had chosen somewhere else.
I am sure all of you could tell stories of times you felt clerks or friends or family members really did not care about you.
Sometimes we may wonder – does anybody care any more?
Christopher Lash in his book The Revolt Of The Elite And The Betrayal of Democracy writes about how the dynamic of the rich getting richer in America and the poor getting poorer has created a feeling of not caring among society. His point is that as people become rich they hold those who are not in contempt – feeling that if they worked hard enough they could be. Those who are not rich hold those that are in contempt because they are rich. Lash is afraid that a feeling of mistrust and contempt for each other is beginning to permeate our society – and that it is hard to find someone who really cares for – and is willing to serve and help – others.
Indeed – caring – really caring – may seem like a lost art – or even a lost cause.
But – caring – really caring for others — is so vital and so necessary//
It is vital and necessary — especially for us – God’s people – as we go into the world dong God’s work
In our Gospel passage for today –Jesus is going about His ministry – going – as Matthew tells us – from town to town and village to village teaching, preaching, and healing. The way Matthew describes it it appears that this was the routine activity for Jesus. But Matthew also lets us know that this was far more than “routine” for Jesus – for wherever He went He had compassion on the masses of people He met.
Everywhere He went He saw the crowds – and had compassion

Compassion
Heartfelt compassion
Caring

Jesus’ life was being driven by God’s Spirit to have compassion. He was not just “doing a job” – He had compassion for those around Him.
He cared for them.
He wanted to help them.
He had compassion for them.
Too many times when I see crowds – well, I just see crowds.
And if I see crowds at the Outreach Center I at times wish I had a back door I could slip out of – or that “Scotty” could just “beam me up” –
Too many times I do not have compassion for them. It’s just a process of
Tell me what you need
Give me your information
Let’s get on with it
No – I don’t want to hear your story – let’s just make this quick
When Jesus saw crowds, however, He saw needs.
He did not lose sight of why people had come to Him.
They came with needs – and He did what He could to meet their needs.
He had compassion.
He cared for them.
He wanted to help them.
He had compassion for them.
There is definitely a difference between how I feel when “pressed” by crowds – and how Jesus felt.
And I am afraid that too many others react and feel as I do – not as Jesus did.
But – is the feeling of love – compassion – seeing the needs of others – is that a “Jesus only” quality?
In other words – is it just a quality for us to look at and admire and say “wasn’t it great Jesus felt that way”?
No – not at all.
You see – Matthew tells us that Jesus commissioned the disciples – and told them to –Cure the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers, cast out demons.

In other words – have compassion!
Care!
Be concerned!
Have compassion!
Cure the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers, cast out demons
Have compassion!

The disciples were sent out to be workers for Jesus –
Compassionate workers
Workers sent out to
Cure the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers, cast out demons
Workers sent out to:

Care!
Be concerned!
Have compassion!
Compassionate workers.

So – Jesus sends the disciples out to be compassionate workers.
But – is this quality of being a “compassionate worker” just a quality Jesus and the Disciples?
Did Matthew give us this story just so we can look at it — admire it — and say “wasn’t it great Jesus and the Disciples felt that way”?
I think y’all know the answer to that question.
Maybe you’re thinking –
Bill – you don’t think we are supposed to be compassionate workers – that we are supposed to he concerned for others – care for others – and have compassion for others – do you?
Well, yes – I do think that!
I believe that Jesus calls all of us – me – you – and all who believe in Him – to be compassionate workers.
Jesus calls all of us to be the laborers He prays for here in Matthew – going out into the world to have compassion for others —

Caring!
Being concerned!
Having compassion!

Jesus calls us to be compassionate workers.
Jesus calls us to see the needs in the world – to see the needs in others – to have compassion – and to respond in heart felt love.
Jesus is calling on us to see the needs of the world – of our community – of those around us – and to respond in caring – to respond in love.
Jesus needs workers who are willing to see the needs in the world – and to respond in love and compassion.
Jesus is calling us to go against the increasing “norm” that Christopher Lash and others see in society of not caring for others and not having compassion for their needs –

He calls on us to be different.
He calls on us to have compassion.
He calls on us to
Care!
Be concerned!
Have compassion!
He calls on us to be compassionate workers

.
He calls on us to know the gifts He has given us to offer to others – to help them – to get involved and reach out to them –

To
Care!
Be concerned!
Have compassion!

Why do we dare get involved in the lives of others in this way?
Because that is what God calls us to do.
Because somebody somewhere got involved in our life when we needed it – and showed us God’s love.
Because God has shown us compassion and love and has blessed us in so many ways.

Be a compassionate worker!
Care!
Be concerned!
Have compassion!

There are a lot of ways to do this.
This week a campaign was launched on the internet called The One Campaign – where people were encouraged to commit to doing what they can for others – one person at a time.
That ‘s what God is calling us all to do.
Whether it’s volunteering your time for an organization that helps others – or donating money or other things to these agencies – or volunteering at a nursing home or hospital – or just calling someone you know that is in need or paying them a visit – or just going out of way to be friendly and helpful to others every day –
However you choose to do it – be a compassionate worker for Jesus’ sake and with Jesus’ love.

Commit to doing what you can for others.
Commit to
Caring!
Being concerned!
Having compassion!
Be a compassionate worker!

Amen.

Matthew 9:9-13, 18-26

MATTHEW 9:9-13, 18-26
JUNE 5, 2005
“DR. GOD”

You may have seen the TV commercial for a brand of cough syrup that has been around for some time now where a group of children are lined up in front of a closed door.
You think they are in a Doctors office waiting to see the physician.
Suddenly, the door opens – and standing there in her white lab coat – spoon in had – ready to dispense the advertised product – is —
Dr. Mom.
The marketers for this brand of cough syrup are trying to cash in on the fact that – regardless of the advances of modern medicine – there are times we all want to be cuddled, cured, and taken care of by a loving parent – regardless of our age.
Many times the clinical approach to modern medicine does not seem to satisfy our search for “wellness”. This may explain why so many people – including me at times – have turned to what some consider to be “unconventional” therapies such as chiropractics, acupuncture, herbal remedies, or some other form of healing that may not be clinically proven – but sometimes gives us the results we need – healing.
Healing
We all – at some point in our lives – need it.
Whether it be physical – or emotional – or spiritual – there are times in our lives we all need healing of some kind – and – at times – people turn to what many consider “unconventional” ways to find the healing they need. Many of us have tried methods that some might call “unconventional” – but if it works, it works.
I have found a great amount of relief from Chiropractors at times – even though at times I have finally needed surgery to correct my problem – I have tried Chiropractors first – and have found relief from them.
We all look for healing at times in our lives – and there are times the clinical approach to modern medicine does not seem to satisfy our search for “healing.”
At one point or another – in everyone’s life – there is a need for healing
Our Gospel passage before us today from Matthew 9 gives us several people who need healing.

Matthew
The woman suffering from the hemorrhage —
The daughter of Synagogue leader —
And yes – even the Synagogue leader himself —

All need healing
And they all find healing – but not in what some might call “conventional” methods – or practioners of “conventional” ways of medicine – whatever they might have been at that time – but in another doctor – another form of medicine — a medical practice that far outweighs – even today – what the best doctors are able to do.
Now – you might be thinking — come on Bill — you mean these folks who lived 2,000 years ago knew of medical practices that are far superior to what we have – even today?
Yes – that’s what I mean
What if I were to tell you there is a doctor –- who can give you a cure for all that ails you – and can give you new life – even eternal life?
Would you want to visit that doctor?
What’s the name of this great doctor I’m referring to?
Well – if Matthew – the woman – and the Synagogue leader or his daughter were here they could tell you – but since they’re not I’lll share their secret with you – the name of this great doctor they found is —

Dr. God
Dr. God

Who “healed” Matthew – accepted him – gave him the acceptance he longed for but could not discover until that fateful day –
It was Dr. God
Who healed the woman – both physically and emotionally – when no one else could?
Dr. God
Who brought the daughter of the Synagogue leader back to life – and gave the leader new hope for his own life —
You know who —
Dr. God
Who do you think can heal us – forgive us – accept us – save us – and give us new life – it’s none other than
Dr. God
God is the one who came to Matthew and found a new life
God is the one who the woman came to and finally found healing after twelve years of finding no help —
God is the one the Synagogue leader came to and found healing and new life for his daughter – as well as hope for himself in the midst of his despair.
God is the one we can go to when we need to find healing – forgiveness – and new life
Dr. God
Dr. God has some powerful tools He uses to heal – forgive – and give new life to those who know that they can not find healing – forgiveness – or new life anywhere else and have no other place else to turn.
One tool Dr. God uses is prayer.
Prayer heals.
Even modern science is finding that prayer heals. In studies it has been found that those who have prayed or have been prayed for have better rates of improvement, fewer complicating problems, and fewer lasting medical needs than those who do not pray or those who are not prayed for.
We have all heard stories of patients whom doctors have said could not possibly live do so – and the thing that keeps them alive is prayer.
Prayer is definitely one of the powerful tools Dr. God uses – and prayer definitely heals.
Another tool Dr. God uses is love.
Love heals.
Compassion, empathy, and concern are all parts of the healing tool of love.
Again, even modern scientific studies are beginning to find that patients who have friends and family who love them, spend time with them, and don’t give up on them have a higher chance of survival – a better rate of improvement – and fewer complicating problems than those who do not.
Those who have friends or family who lovingly care for them are more apt to be healed – not just because they have people around them who will make sure they have what they need – but also because there is a power in being shown love.
Love is definitely one of the powerful tools Dr. God uses – and love definitely heals.
Faith is another tool Dr. God uses.
Faith heals.
Again, even modern science has conducted studies and found that those who have faith have a better chance of survival than those who do not. A recent study out of Duke University showed that people who practice their faith are healthier than those who do not – and when they do become sick have a better survival rate than those who do not.
Yes – faith is definitely one of the tools Dr. God uses – and faith definitely heals.
Prayer – Love – and Faith are just some of the tools Dr. God can use to bring healing in lives where there is the most need for healing – forgiveness – and new life.
God can bring healing into your life when you need it the most.
God can bring forgiveness into your life when you need it the most.
God can bring you new life and new possibilities when you need them the most.
Dr. God.
Experience Dr. God
If you need healing – I would invite you to experience Dr. God.
Experience His powerful tools of prayer – love – and faith.
If you don’t particularly feel in need of healing at this time in your life – you still need Dr. God.
Medical doctors are finding that too many people wait until they have problems to come to them – where if they had been coming to them on a regular basis for checkups and practicing good healthy habits of what is called “preventive medicine” their problems might have been caught – and treated — before they became acute illnesses.
Practicing “preventive medicine” with Dr. God – incorporating His powerful tools of Prayer – Love – and Faith into your life before you hit a crises – is highly recommended.
Discover Dr. God.
But – once we find a good doctor – especially if we have been looking for one — what’s one of the first things we want to do?
Many times it’s tell others!
“Let me tell you about this Dr. I’ve found …”
What about God?
Do we tell others of the healing powers of Dr. God – and His tools of prayer – love – and faith?
A lot of times we can’t wait to tell others about a new doctor we have discovered – but are reluctant to tell others about Dr. God.
Don’t be reluctant!
Tell others what God has done!
Tell others about the powerful tools of prayer – love – and faith!
And – be a part of Dr. God’s team.
Every good doctor needs assistants.
So does Dr. God.
God needs us to be a part of His team – and use His tools of prayer – love – and faith to help others find healing.
Pray for others.
Our time of Congregational Prayer is an important time in our service when we life others up to God.
We need to be a congregation that prays.
Bring up names of those you know are in need that are not on our list that we have in our bulletin every week.
We need to be a congregation that prays.
We also need to be individuals that pray.
Pray every day for those you know are in need.
You might want to carry our prayer list that is in the bulletin with you every day – and add other names to it you know of – so you can have the list handy when you have a few minutes to pray for others.
Be a part of Dr. God’s team. Use His powerful tool of prayer.
Love others.
Show that powerful tool of God – love – to others who need to experience it. We need to be a loving Church.
We need to be loving people.
Be a part of Dr. God’s team. Use His powerful tool of love.
Have faith in God.
Tell others about your faith – and let them see your faith in action as you reach up to God and out to them as you live your life.
Be a part of Dr. God’s team. Use His powerful tool of faith.
Dr. God’s powerful tools of prayer – love – and faith can work miracles – and give healing – forgiveness – new life and new possibilities to others.
I read about a young family of a Dad, Mom, and young boy and a younger girl.
The 2 children loved each other – and played together beautifully.
The girl became very sick – and was rushed to the hospital.
The doctors told them she was critical – and they had to accept the fact that she was dieing.
The brother demanded to see his sister.
Finally the doctors let him visit her – and for a few minutes he sang to her – talked to her – and placed his toys in her hands.
The next day the doctors were amazed – for the little girl was improving!
Instead of planning for the little girl’s funeral – the family brought her home – and she was well.
That’s an example of what Dr. God – with His tools of prayer – love – and faith can do.
That’s an example of what God can do through us when we share those tools with others.
When you need healing, come to Dr. God.
Find ways to share Dr. God with others.
Using the tools of prayer – love – and faith – puts us all on the same team – and we all know who the head Physician is –
It’s Dr. God.
Amen.
