In Touch, the teaching ministry of Dr. Charles Stanley.

Next on In Touch, help for our healing.

Well, we are the richest nation in the world, but we probably about one of the sickest.

And if you'll think about it, we spend billions of dollars every year on medical research

and all kinds of medicines and pharmaceutical this and that. And why is it we're still so sick?

What is it that's going on inside of us that we can't get healthy?

And so when I think about what the Bible says about the human body and its place in the

eyes of God, and think about the fact that we could put a man on the moon and in space,

and somehow we can't even stay healthy.

It's like there's something not right about all that.

The question is this, what does God say about the human body and about healing?

And so often people don't want to put those two together.

They say, well, that healing ministry, you're not talking about a healing ministry, we're talking about being a child of God and having something happening in

human body that causes us to be sick or some emotional issue that goes on that causes us

to be thrown off course a little bit. So what I want us to do is I want us to look at the

scripture to see what God says and to see what He says when

you and I need healing in our life.

Now, first response is called the doctor.

First response, go to the pharmacy.

Let's get if I can get enough pills of this, enough of that, enough of the other, then I don't

need anything else.

You realize what that means?
