The hallmark of a healthy society has always been measured by how it cares for the disadvantaged.
From Joni Eareckson Tada
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.
My life goal is to see the world's one billion people with disabilities embraced and encouraged by the church.
I was in every club and extra-curricular activity at high school, and I was in the National Honor Society.
Every time we go to sleep, it's a rehearsal of the day when our eyes will ultimately close and we wake up on the side of eternity.
If you truly believe in the value of life, you care about all of the weakest and most vulnerable members of society.
Anyone who takes the Bible seriously agrees that God hates suffering. Jesus spent most of his time relieving it. But when being healed becomes the only goal - 'I'm not letting go until I get what I want' - it's a problem.
None of us, in our culture of comfort, know how to prepare ourselves for dying, but that's what we should do every day. Every single day, we die a thousand deaths.
In the Christian faith, God really puts suffering front and center. He doesn't get squeamish about it.
