Mark was diagnosed with Sarcoidosis, a lung disease. He knew there were two roads he could take. He could feel sorry for himself, or he could ask the Lord what He wanted from him and how he could turn this tragedy into something positive. “Do not give up on faith. Faith is the key to everything,” Mark said.
It’s important to focus on faith as it relates to health and if someone is in the same situation of loss, then maybe they can be met on that path so we can talk about the opportunities and the potentials of moving forward in a faithful way, because the rewards are endless. “I have a great Lord and Savior who is showing me the way and is benefitting myself and the people I interact with every day,” Mark said.
Christianity is losing ground in America and other Western countries. Unfortunately, our efforts to reverse this trend often seem to do more harm than good. In his book, Joy For the World, Greg Forster explains how the church lost its culture-shaping voice and what Christians can do to turn things around.
"Then He said, 'Do not draw near this place. Take your sandals off your feet, for the place where you stand is holy ground.'" (Exodus 3:5)
This video jam titled "Take Your Sandals Off Your Feet" comes from a sermon preached by Dr. Vincent G. Artese titled "The Place Where You Stand is Holy Ground".
