We usually think of hospitals as the place to go for the physically sick or injured, and the church as the place for when we need spiritual healing and care. But the fact is, we pray for the sick and the injured in public worship, and that says a lot about the connection between physical illness and spiritual well-being. We acknowledge that physical illness is a symptom of an underlying condition of this fallen world that we call sin.

Midweek Lenten Service, March 25, 2020
March 22, 2020. Fourth Sunday in Lent. John chapter 9. This is also the first canceled service due to the covid-19 pandemic.
Being alone can be experienced either is loneliness or solitude. Loneliness is painful, solitude is peaceful. Loneliness cries out for healing. Solitude is the comfortable alone as it being at peace with oneself, and in the presence of God.
Faith should never be confused with feelings, faith is an objective relationship with God in Christ. It may be expressed in feelings, but feelings are not the substance of faith.
