A God-Centered Perspective on Cancer

John Piper is the pastor of Bethlehem Baptist Church in Minneapolis and the featured speaker of Desiring God Ministries. Piper's message can be summarized in one simple but profound statement: "God is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied with him." Recently Piper has proven his personal sincerity about this statement, as he has been recently diagnosed with prostrate cancer. Dr. Piper had a successful surgery this week. To God be the glory! And he was released from the hospital this past Wedneday. Please continue to pray for him. Recently, in one of his regular newletter articles to his congregation, Piper wrote a very God-centered perspective on cancer. He called it, "Don't Waste Your Cancer." Read it and share it with somebody else.
