What do we know? What do we see? How do we feel?

So, what do we keep our minds filled with? Simple things to keep us occupied so that we remain oblivious to real struggles and transformations that people go through?

Properly Addressing Back Pain?

It is unfortunate that people are being misled on how to resolve certain conditions in their bodies.

"The well-established clinical practice guidelines for managing and treating back pain support the use of non-opioid pain-killers, avoidance of imaging, and the use of physiotherapy including exercise therapy. However, a recent study concludes that despite abundant clinical guidelines advocating these methods of care, physicians are increasingly relying on narcotics, CT (computed tomography) and MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) scans, and referral to other physicians (presumably for consultation for injections or surgery)... This growing trend negatively impacts both patient quality of care, and overall health care spending."

The Difference of Christianity

Because of who God is, and because of what God has done to preserve his Word, we have confidence the events described in Scripture are accurate and historical. This is important because Christianity, unique among world religions, depends on historical events: particularly Jesus' life, death, and resurrection. As J. Gresham Machen writes, "Christianity is based upon an account of something that happened, and the Christian worker is primarily a witness." Scripture tell us this account, revealing Christianity's climax—its central, historical, and verifiable event: God's gracious act of bringing salvation through the cross of Jesus Christ.

Don't Be Short Sighted

Parents that experience "difficulty" in raising their newborn who had a stroke 10 days after birth. Many reasons for why great progress is occurring. Bottom line is, don't approach what appears difficult with negativity; you will stifle a miracle from happening. Check out the talk below from the parents.

Characterized by Might

In the Bible, you continually see God mightily testing those he uses before he uses them mightily.

Validity Set

"Put simply, if someone seeks to eliminate the trustworthiness of the New Testament, then to be consistent they would also have to dismiss virtually the entire canon of Western literature and pull everything from Homer to Plato to Aristotle off of bookstore shelves and out of classroom discussions. The transmission process of Scripture is without peer." ~ The Resurgence
