The are a lot of different kinds of Good News, but there is little good news in “My argument scored more points than you argument.” But the news that “Christ is risen!” really is Good News for one kind of person: The person who is dying.

If Christianity is not a dying word to dying men, it is not the message of the Bible that gives hope now.

- Michael Spencer , On Real Apologetics

If you can, pray for Michael. He’s having a rough go at it with some pretty nasty cancer.

 

Also, as he’s now without a job and could use the financial help, you can donate to him at the link below:

The human experience commonly shared is suffering … If he [Matt Chandler] suffers well, that might be the most important sermon he’s ever preached.

“Cancer quickly reveals who and what we ultimately trust. It can bring life into eternal perspective, so long as we don’t despair in our illness. If we feast on Christ, we will find our sins don’t taste so rich any longer. Even well-known pastors must fight this battle. They might appear to have it all, but they actually have more cause for despair that we usually imagine. Thousands turn out to hear them speak in conferences. Thousands more buy their books. Megachurches sprout where they serve. But cancer threatens to end that influence. Of all people, they are tempted to think they are too important for God to take.”

- Collin Hansen (“When the Pastor Suffers“)
