Have you ever been sick? Have you ever gone to the Doctor? Dumb question, right? I'm sure you have. We all have at some point or another. Going to the Doctor isn't the funnest thing in the world, but when you're in need of some meds or something, it often is quite helpful.
Found this interesting article about a Doctor who got in trouble for talking to a patient about Jesus.

It troubles me on so many levels that this Doctor would get in trouble for talking about the most influential individual in the history of the world. If you don't believe me, look at the date today. Its based on when Jesus was born.
I can appreciate and understand that this opens up a discussion on religion in the workplace. One could say that allowing this guy to talk about Jesus would have to open the door to others talking about their faith. That doesn't trouble me at all. Put my Jesus up against anything and He will prevail every single time.
Here's the biggest issue- worldwide, there is antagonism against Christianity. Not through individuals, but through organizations. It appears to me that it is culturally acceptable to be anything but a person who believes in the God of the Bible. This should not be so.
The truth that this Doctor knows, that everyone else should know is that a trained Doctor can only do so much. They can prescribe pills and 'practice' medicine, but they are limited in their overall power. At some point, you have to go to the Creator. You have to bow your knee and admit that you need something more powerful than yourself to get you out of what you are in.
You need a touch from above.
Have you been going at it on your own strength? Have you not been to see Dr. Jesus lately? His office is open. No waiting line. No HMO and no co-pays. Go in, sit down and take a dose of what He is giving and He will cure you of the pain that only can come from the Savior.
Nothing wrong with prescribing some Jesus.
be blessed
