2 Corinthians 12:7-10

When it comes to physical healing, often confusion reigns. To combat it, I’d like to point out five “laws” of suffering. These “laws” will do more to help the hurting and erase their confusion than perhaps anything else they could read. Yesterday, we looked at laws one through four. Today we’ll look at number five.

Law Five: It is not God’s will that everyone be healed in this life. 

The Globe and Mail is reporting that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is expected to announce he is stepping down as Liberal party leader as early as Monday.

Trudeau has faced mounting calls for his resignation from MPs in his caucus as public opinion polls have continued to put the governing Liberals trailing far behind the Conservatives.

The Globe report says three sources, who weren't authorized to speak about the matter publicly, did not know a specific timeline but they expected Trudeau would announce his plans before a national caucus meeting scheduled for Wednesday.

Isaiah 1:16-17

"Wash and make yourselves clean. Take your evil deeds out of my sight; stop doing wrong. Learn to do right; seek justice. Defend the oppressed. Take up the cause of the fatherless; plead the case of the widow."

Matthew 9:35

“Have you heard of the Four Spiritual Laws?” 

That question, found in a small booklet, has been asked and answered thousands—perhaps millions—of times in our generation. These “laws” have been used by God to introduce His plan of love and forgiveness to countless numbers of people who had no idea how to have a meaningful relationship with Him. 

Micah 6:8

"He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God."

1 Kings 19:9–21

God often delivers His best gifts to us in unexpected ways...with surprises inside the wrappings. Through apparent contradictions. Somewhat like the therapy He used when Elijah was so low, so terribly disillusioned. 

A new feature-length documentary showcasing one of social media's first 'illness influencers' has hit Angel Studios' streaming platform. 

The film, Breaking Into Beautiful, shares Kim White's beautiful and messy battle with a rare cancer.

Dr. Tony Evans' son, Jonathan recently spoke out about how his dad stepping down from the pulpit affected the family.

"In 2024, in the summer, my dad took a step back from ministry," said Jonathan in a video posted on YouTube. "It was a shock to a lot of people. It was a shock to us when he told us he was going to take a step back from ministry to go through a time of healing and restoration."

Evans says when his dad stepped down it was like a punch to the gut for himself and his siblings.
