Healthcare in Europe

Healthcare in Europe

• A Kingdom Perspective

2
What troubled me about healthcare in Europe?

• Christians not really making a difference in what
  is actually happening in healthcare systems
• Christians not taken seriously by non-Christians
  when it comes to solving healthcare problems
• YET we claim Jesus Christ is Lord of lords and
  King of kings
• Conclusion the head has become the tail and this
  is totally unacceptable to me - Jesus Christ
  deserves more!!!

Why has the head become the tail in healthcare in
Europe?

• Four fundamental reasons
• Cultural Christians but not yet Relational
  Christians
• Relational Christians but not yet Fullness
  Christians
• Christians but still thinking like pagans
• Christians but ineffective in spiritual warfare
