Do you know, I've been quite struck lately by the number of my fellow Christian leaders who appear to keep their trust in God's works inside the limits of scientific understanding. If science doesn't understand something then that 'something' cannot be from God, either, so they say! If some extraordinary kingdom healing occurs it's too easy to think to oneself, 'I wonder then if the original diagnosis was wrong?'
Mind you, science has always been slightly suspicious of what it doesn't understand and a lot of we Christians seem a bit suspicious as well. I recently published a witness statement from a husband whose wife became happily pregnant and gave birth very successfully and healthily, and all this was years after she had her womb surgically removed. The examining surgeon reported later that he could "find no evidence of the original procedure"! Do you like that?
Well, one or two leading churchmen announced it could not be so as healing miracles are only a speeding up of natural processes. In this case science says, "No womb, no babies".
If healing is only a speeding up of natural mechanisms I wonder how those lovely ones feel about Incarnation, Virgin birth, transfiguration and Resurrection?
I wish we could learn that science was invented by God, not God invented by and restricted within science! My God really can do anything!
Please from now on let's not restrict God to doing only what we understand. He can do anything! All blessings you need - Mike
