“When a person develops significant cognitive impairment much of their life seems to revolve around their disease. It begins to redefine their identity and seems to be the truest thing about them. Yet this is not biblical. Scripture tells us that all who trust in Christ — including those with Alzheimer’s — have a new identity. They are a new creation. They have value, regardless of their cognitive or intellectual ability. A spiritual community can remind us of this by treating us in ways that are consistent with this truth.”
