Singer Davy Jones of the 60s singing group The Monkees has died of a heart attack at age 66. Here he is in 1967.
As recently as June of 2011, Jones told The Palm Beach Post that after a routine stress test, a doctor said he had the heart of a 25-year-old. "The doctor says my heart's so good, the door's open to do any kind of exercise I want," he told the paper.
When we hear things like this from a doctor we are happy and of course do not mind paying the bill. We also will do what the doctor has said. If the doctor says slow down we slow down. If the doctor says do things we do things.
Why do Christians pay heed to doctors but not to Jesus? Jesus is "the author and finisher of our faith." His Word tells us that "by His stripes we are healed." He is always right. Clearly Davy Jones doctor was not right. Yet people will continue to go to a fallible doctor and still ignore God's Word.
