At a small gathering last night for some friends of Desiring God, I met a dear saint who had a sister with Prader-Willi syndrome. Her sister died at age 35, many years ago. Here are a few quotes: “It is entirely a grace that mom and dad stayed married.” “I’m glad I’ve forgotten so many [...]

John 11:43-44 When he had said these things, he cried out with a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out.” The man who had died came out, his hands and feet bound with linen strips, and his face wrapped with a cloth. Jesus said to them, “Unbind him, and let him go.” John 11:53 So from that [...]

Luke 6:6-11 (ESV) On another Sabbath, he entered the synagogue and was teaching, and a man was there whose right hand was withered. And the scribes and the Pharisees watched him, to see whether he would heal on the Sabbath, so that they might find a reason to accuse him. But he knew their thoughts, [...]

What would you tell them?

On Monday I’ll be speaking to a group of Bethlehem volunteers who serve our children as small group leaders in the Sunday School program. In many ways, they are the ‘front-line’ in our disability ministry, as the children with disabilities are also included, as much as possible, in the small groups in the Sunday School [...]
