I read the quote below here,

Stanford anthropology professor Tanya Luhrmann made this remarkable comment in When God Talks Back:

What one might call an avalanche of medical data has demonstrated that, for reasons still poorly understood, those who attend church and believe in God are healthier and happier and live longer than those who do not.”

I agree. I expect that the fruit of living a God-centred life will very often be seen in physical reality.

However, I would not say it is a law— I am not a proponent of the prosperity gospel”. My Bible declares that following King Jesus is far more nuanced than that.

I stand with Job whose wisdom has stood for millennia and seems good for a few centuries more,

Naked I came from my mother’s womb, and naked I will leave this life., The Lord gives, and the Lord takes away. Blessed be the name of the Lord.
