Matt Chandler was a special guest at Together for the Gospel 2010, sharing about how his experience with cancer has impacted him and his theology:
“My goal is to be a faithful minister of Jesus Christ until he calls me home,” says Chandler.
I don’t know about you, but I’m not sure I’ve got that kind of faith. But I want it.
When we suffer, will we suffer well? Will we look at our circumstances with despair or will we join Paul in saying,
For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain. If I am to live in the flesh, that means fruitful labor for me. Yet which I shall choose I cannot tell. I am hard pressed between the two. My desire is to depart and be with Christ, for that is far better. But to remain in the flesh is more necessary on your account.
Philippians 1:21-24
