Healing the Sick
An Invitation for Reflection through Week Six
Evans
says, “We anoint not to cure, but to heal.”
How would you
describe the difference between “curing” and “healing”?
Does
it take courage to be involved in the work of healing?
If so, why?
What
else does it take to be part of “one of the most powerful and countercultural
gifts the church has to offer the world”?
“
Evangelical Acedia”is defined as laziness or indifference in religious matters.
Have you ever been
through an experience or a series of experiences that have left you burned out
or bitter or, at the least, indifferent toward church?
How did you respond?
Have you recovered or
are you still in that place in your feelings about church attendance and
commitment?
Barbara
Brown Taylor writes about new life starting “in the dark.”
If
something new is happening in the church, what do you think that “new life”
might look like?
What
do you think might be different about the Christian church twenty or thirty
years from now?
As
we look to the events leading to Jesus’ death and resurrection, what do you
hope will be resurrected in your life?
In the world?
