Mercy

Notes from Dr. Diane Langberg's speech at the 2007 PCA Mercy Conference:

"Suffering leaves us speechless. Speaking is necessary for healing. Christians need to give the sufferer a voice. It is redemptive.

Christians are the rescue workers of this world.
We are to bind up the broken-hearted. We are called to live & work among the 'tombs'--among 'dead people'. If we work among the 'dead', we must believe in the Resurrection & be on our knees in repentance.

Worship is our strength.

Suffering is swallowed up in God's Glory.
He uses it for His Glory. Work here turns scars into Glory.
God will use the sufferings of others to drive us to Him."
