Crossroads

Yesterday Al Mohler, the President of Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, who recently experienced a near-death health crisis, wrote a personal commentary titled "Lessons Learned in a Crisis of Life". You can read the entire commentary here. He models for us how to view and respond to trials in a way that is gloryfying to God. The lessons he learned should help us respond to trials in godly ways. Even if you’re not going through a trial now, I’d encourage you to read it so you can prepare for the inevitable. "The truth of the matter is that all we have to do is live long enough, and we will suffer." (D.A. Carson)

John Piper also went through a health crisis last year and wrote "Don’t Waste Your Cancer". I hope these resources will help you as you go through various trials and as you seek to help others who are going through trials.
