The Houston Chronicle features a story of a survey which shows people in Houston are more likely to turn to their Creator first for health issues before doctors.
Houston may have one of the world's great medical centers, but its residents are more apt to turn to religion for matters of health and well-being, according to a survey being released today.
Forty-three percent of Houstonians surveyed cited religious organizations and leaders as their No. 1 source of help. Only 21 percent cited doctors. It was the largest gap of any of the nine major cities surveyed.
It shouldn't be too surprising that we could turn to the Designer and Creator of all life for intervention in health matters. He even tells us to.
At the same time, He often chooses to work in more mundane ways, through doctors. The man who wrote one of the Gospels and the book of Acts, Luke, was himself a doctor.
