RIP
If you only read one book the rest of this year, make it this one:
He’s seeing him face-to-face, what a reunion!
another pilgrim gone Home. may God comfort your family and loved ones. thank you for being a good and faithful servant to the end.
also prayers up for Heidi and her family, a dear college friend who just passed too soon for us. may God rest her soul.
Harry Reeder and Stephen Smallman also passed into Glory this week.
""My wife and I would never want to go to the kind of prayer life and spiritual life we had before the cancer," he said.
"Everyone knows they're going to die," Keller added. People, though, "suppress that" knowledge and "live as if they're never going to die."
Pancreatic cancer, he said, had few treatments. He said his doctor told him, "You're going to die of this, sooner or later, because we don't have a cure for it."
"The way you look at God, the way you look at your spouse, the way you look at everything just changes when you actually realize time is limited and I'm mortal," he told Unbelievable.
Although battling cancer, Keller proclaimed the gospel on social media until the final weeks before his death.
"If Jesus rose from the dead, then you have to accept all that he said; if he didn't rise from the dead, then why worry about any of what he said? The issue on which everything hangs is not whether or not you like his teaching but whether or not he rose from the dead," Keller tweeted in April."
Yes, death certainly has a way of putting eternity in perspective when you know you are going to stand before the Holy and Just God to give account of your life.
I first heard about Tim Keller about 8 years ago when I heard about the protestant catechism he had done: New City Catechism Also available as an app for your iPhone, etc.
However, I was very disappointed to hear that he had gone woke, along with a number of other prominent pastors, including Andy Stanley, etc. - Tim Keller, per Disntr.com
I'm so happy to hear that he returned to the fold prior to his death. I look forward to seeing him one day, and maybe not that far in the future.
Come quickly, Lord Jesus!
I can’t wait to get to Heaven!
Who’s going with me?
There are worse ways to go than this. Peacefully, surrounded by family, mindful of the judgment of Heaven to come. Not bad.
There is no cure for any cancer, period. Science can only slowdown progress of cancer, by surgery, or chemo, or other meds, or radiation. But can not cure cancer permanently.
We all have cancer cells forming by the millions every day. It is when normal DNA breaks down for whatever reason. Luckily most of us have the ability to recognize the cancer cells and kill them before they form a tumor or mass. When that ability is lost for whatever reason (genetics, weak immune system, etc) then cancer takes hold in the body. Cancer is simply our own cells with defective DNA.
So treatments can put us into remission temporarily, but if we live long enough, the cancer will come back.
Only the good die young and the evil ones like Soros, Pelosi and the rest of the old evil cabal are still kicking. Father God in heaven it’s so unfair. I miss Rush so much.
That is real. We will all be there.
Blessed is the Righteous Judge. May Tim rest in peace until the resurrection of his dead body unto life.
The only questions about our deaths are when and how.
And that is God’s decision.
May he hear the most cherished words a Christian can hear.....Well done thou good and faithful servant
One of my heroes. He’s home tonight.
RIP.
His “new” ‘social justice’ gospel (which isn’t really a new gospel at all, to quote St Paul) did more to divide the church than any other doctrine in the last 100 years - just sayin
