I am hoping that a more orderly array of posts is coming.
It has been some time, and we shall see.
But for today, as Thanksgiving nears its end in the States (not the attitude, of course, but the day), I want to pass on some recently read words from Tim Keller within the context of his present pancreatic cancer challenge, which I also believe resonate with a similar tenor to the message in chapters one through six of Volume One of RELOVUTIONARY.
Whatevs, they are worth repeating on the effect when life puts you in the deep end:
I’m not just saying this: Our greatest fear is that if I get a really good diagnosis, a really good response to the cancer, and I really do well and I really am able to live for a number more years, we never want to go back spiritually where we were before the cancer diagnosis… We never want to go back to that because in spite of all the things I’ve already preached, I wasn’t a hypocrite exactly, but the reality is that most of us say we need to depend on God but we actually think we’ve got it sorted… We feel like we’ve got everything under control because we’ve thought this out, we’ve got savings, we’ve got these people [in our life]…
Once you been thrown into this deep end, although there are many scary moments, the monsters only magnify the grace of God that comforts with something like, even this is for your good (Romans 8:28; 2 Corinthians 4:16-18)!
Jesus can be trusted!
For the Fame of His Name
