If that headline doesn’t make sense, go to Desiring God and listen to this week’s sermon, “Help the Children Love the Different People.”
Here is what Pastor John had to say about disability in the context of this sermon:
So I am going to explicitly apply what I say to racial differences, and trust those of you for whom disability is a more immediate issue to listen between the lines and make the applications wherever they are appropriate.
You can also hear his remarks on this topic, from about minute 22 to 23, on the video at the link above.
I was already doing that, Pastor John, when you got to it on the video! Noel gave you very good advice. And you are right, your points are appropriate for those of us dealing with disability.
Tomorrow, a lesson I had to learn about staring, from how my daughter reacted to people staring at her brother.
It was another great sermon and worthy of a second listen. I felt like a bobble head nodding throughout it. I, too, was fast-forwarding the applications to my own situation in disability. I loved how Pastor John said, “It is all about God.” Our circumstances in disability is much bigger than us. It is ultimately about God. That is what gives suffering purpose. I thank God for Pastor John’s teaching on hard things.
