Certainly, sin can manifest itself in different ways, but to immediately go down that road and assume it's sin in someone's life--especially someone in great pain--is short-sighted and unloving.

She had to go to the hospital for a while. I can still hear some of our church family ask what sin is in her life that she is not confessing, and some even suggested demon possession. Now.. that brought her right out of that depression.....actually, it made me depressed! This brings back memories in the early 70's when my wife went through a period of depression.

But unfortunately, it seems so prevalent. I'll never forget the one time my former nephew-in-law was giving a message at a Bible study one time. He and I were both young in the faith at the time. I clearly remember him saying "Christians don't need to accept sickness." I thought to myself, "gee, you know, I really don't like getting sick. He is saying that I can choose not be be sick?"Shortly thereafter I heard a message on Job that addressed this heresy. It's really part of the "health and wealth" gospel which is bunk. I would love to see one of these pastors travel back in time and be Job's fourth friend and try that out on Job. I think he'd punch them in the mouth. Just a thought.Thanks for stopping by brother!

Have you ever had friends like these? I was unchurched and wiring churches. One of the groups heard i was going for an operation and wanted to come to my house to pray with me. I was so happy for fellowship! Things went well untill they started to dig for the hidden sin that caused my cancer. My cancer was caused by not using sun-screen!! I guessed they never read Job.
