JESUS AND THE HEALING OF HUMAN BROKENNESS:
Restoring the Ministry of Christian Healing Prayer We live in a broken world. Does God see all this? Does he care? Is he uninterested in such "worldly" matters? Does the Bible offer any help? If so, do we -- the church? Through much of the past 2,000 years, the church has seemingly said "No." However, the Bible provides us with astounding good news! God does see and care -- he does wish to be involved. And he invites our participation in the healing of his broken world!
