Making Life or Death Decisions

Knowledge, knowing what to do in a certain situation, is the wisdom of God put into action.

v    Two types of knowledge

o      The physical, the intellectual, the worldly, the material, the temporal

o      The spiritual, the Godly, the eternal

§       For we fix our eyes not on what is seen but what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.

                                                                                       II Corinthians 4:18

v    Modern medicine—and in particular psychiatric medicine—has the opportunity to bridge the gap between intellectual knowledge and spiritual understanding--and in doing so encourage a dialogue between life and death decisions.
