Quote of the Week – Collin Hansen on Pastors and Cancer
Dec 29th
“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“)
