Worse Things

There are numerous causes of sickness, many of which we have no control over. However, some sickness is a direct result of our choices, I.e. lung cancer from smoking, HIV from unprotected sex in promiscuous life style, clogged arteries from eating unhealthy foods.

James says when a person asks the elders to pray for him to be healed, "if he has committed sins he will be forgiven" (James 5:15).

Our sin does not have to keep us from being healed. We must leave our sin behind us so that worse things do not affect us (John 5:14).
