1Why do people get sick? Is our sickness tied directly to some sin we've committed or set our mind on? If so, how do we make it go away? If not, why has God allowed our sickness? Does God actually ordain sickness and disability in people's lives, and if so, why would a loving God do such a thing?In Viewing Sickness Biblically, Joseph Whiting walks us through answers to these questions for ourselves, then challenges how we think about others who become sick. Did God strike them with sickness because they were living in unrighteousness? If they simply repent, would they be made well again? Likewise, if we repent of our sins, would we be made well again?Drawing on Scripture seasoned with personal experience, Whiting addresses questions every Christian must grapple with: Are any of us actually promised physical health by God? Can we trust His purposes and promises even when our sickness and disability leads to death? How do we live in a world filled with sickness and death? Through what lens ought we see sickness, death, and the God who is in charge of it all? The correct answer is sure to bring much glory to God and comfort to our souls.
