CBHD: Whether Flu or Cold or Strep Throat, Have All to the Glory of God - by Bryan C. McWhite On the front of our church is a plaque that bears the words, “So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God” (1 Cor 10:31). The beauty of this verse is that its great power lies in its smallest word: the Greek word ti, which means “anything.” Thus, the verse literally reads, “So, whether you eat or drink or do anything, do all things to the glory of God.” I don’t think anything is excluded from “anything.” This means that our calling—indeed our joy—as Christians is to plot and scheme to contrive of ways to bend everything we do toward the glory of God. Going about our business with integrity, doing our taxes honestly, eating breakfast gratefully, studying the Scriptures deeply, choosing forms of entertainment wisely, making love to our spouses passionately, remaining abstinent steadfastly if we’re unmarried, etc.—properly pursued, these are all means to glorify God.

When my wife Leslie and I returned home after Christmas break, I was laid low with a nasty case of the flu. It was by far the most all-inclusive sickness I have experienced since high school, complete with a 103º fever, a headache that made my eyes throb, piercing cold chills followed immediately by sweltering waves of heat, a painful cough and scorched throat, etc. Full Article: http://www.cbhd.org/resources/healthcare/mcwhite_2005-03-04.htm |
