I think that's really based on what we perceive.
I don't think it's true that saints of God are less sick or sick less often than sinner folks. We might think it's that way, but I think it's because we pay more attention to those aspects when in reality, it's not really different.
It's just like the full moon phenomenon. There really isn't anything more crazy during that phase but we will pay more attention to things that do happen when there is a full moon out.
Case in point.....today, my former pastor is in the hospital after having gall bladder surgery yesterday. I'm a heathen and in perfect health.
If the reverse were true, it wouldn't have anything to do with the status each of us have in the church. It's life. Life happens.
