Lazarus, Come Out!

Heroes in the Bible:  Lazarus, Come Out!

Believest thou this? John 11:25 Have you ever wondered why God’s timing feels so different from ours? When Jesus learned that Lazarus was sick, He didn’t rush to his side.

Infirmity

Infirmity: Understanding Physical Weakness and Its Implications In our fast-paced world, where strength and vigor are often associated with productivity and capability, the concept of infirmity or physical weakness tends to carry significant stigma. This stigma not only affects individuals grappling with their physical limitations but also reflects broader societal attitudes toward health, wellness, and the human experience of being frail. Defining Infirmity Infirmity refers to a condition of being weak, especially due to age or illness. It encompasses a wide range of physical conditions that can impact an individual’s mobility, strength, and overall physical capability. While the term is often associated with the elderly or chronically ill, infirmity can affect anyone at any stage of life. The causes of infirmity can be varied and complex.
