Pray for Piper
January 7, 2006 Posted by Roger Overton
John Piper has been diagnosed with prostate cancer. What's amazing, and encouraging, is his attitude about it…
This news has, of course, been good for me. The most dangerous thing in
the world is the sin of self-reliance and the stupor of worldliness.
The news of cancer has a wonderfully blasting effect on both. I thank
God for that. The times with Christ in these days have been unusually
sweet.
Read his full letter to his congregation here. Let's keep him and his faimly in prayer as they face this challenge. (HT: Justin Taylor)
