I received a call from a long-time friend who told me that he had just received word from his doctor that he has an aggressive form of cancer in his lungs. Treatment would take the better part of a year and he would then have a life expectancy of 2-3 years afterwards. To do nothing means that he has 6 months to a year. He and his wife have prayed about it and he has opted to do no treatment. He is asking God to heal him, and if He doesn't, then my friend said he has to be willing to get on the bus and go home when God says it's time. My friend is full of faith and is believing God for healing.
Have you ever wondered if you would have enough faith when you needed it? It's one thing to say we have faith in religion-protected America, but when your back is really up against the wall will you trust God to be faithful? When you still have a lot to live for and do, are you able to say, "I will trust Him"?
My friend's name is Dave Terhune. He is the pastor of a new church called The Cross in Rochester. Please pray for Pastor Dave, his wife Susan, and the rest of the family. Please ask God to heal Dave for the Lord's honor and glory.
