I agree with most of the conclusions in this article (my summary: miracles by their nature are few and far between, suffering is part of the promised Christian walk, God uses medicine, so called faith healing can be harmful, Christian Science is neither, medications for mental health need to be as acceptable to Christians as to anyone else…) but it is poorly written. It is also written with obvious opinion already formed but ends by telling me that I have been given the various points of view and now need to decide. That makes the overall tone a bit hostile or challenging and not winsome. Scripture tells us to be wily as serpents and gentle as doves.
