Devotional: Scars That Heal - The True Life Story of
Dave Roever
Presented by: Tom Saluzzo
January 5th, 2008
During the devotional today we watched the video titled "Scars That Heal - The True Life Story of
Dave Roever" and I unveiled a word I made up called "situationalism". Our situations are what
happened to us in the past (emotionally or physically). We need to understand and accept our past
and recognize that God loves us unconditionally and forgives us when we ask. We then need to
use our situations to glorify God and reach others in similar situations. The combination of all of
this is what I call situationalism. We also read Ecclesiastes Chapter 9.
Dave's son-in-law, Phil Chapin, also spoke at the 2005 Promise Keepers conference and surprised
all when he revealed that the man who "saved my life" was Dave Roever.
