Don’t Waste Your Cancer by John Piper February 15, 2006 I write this on the eve of prostate surgery. I believe in Gods power to heal by miracle and by medicine. I believe it is right and good to pray for both kinds of healing. Cancer is not wasted when it is healed by God. […]
He Lives, so She Lives
“Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live, and everyone who lives and believes in me shall never die. Do you believe this?” She said to him, “Yes, Lord; I believe that you are the Christ, the Son of God, who […]

When my wife died last summer, after an eight month battle with stomach cancer, someone told me that 98% of those who live in the Senior Housing understand what I was going through.
