New York Pastor and best-selling author Timothy Keller has found that knowing he is mortal has transformed his prayer life along with other aspects of his life.
In May 2020 Keller was diagnosed with stage four pancreatic cancer. Since that time he has had two years of chemotherapy and is currently participating in the immunotherapy drug trial for National Institute for Health in Bethesda, Maryland.
“My cancer is still there, pancreatic cancer can break out anytime and take you, and yet we’ve been able to keep it somewhat at bay for a pretty long time, and so we’re very grateful,” says Keller in an interview.
Throughout his cancer journey, Keller has continued to preach at his church, Redeemer Presbyterian Church in New York City. In the video interview, Keller explains how he and his wife Kathy’s prayer life has benefited in the past few years.
“This is going to sound like an exaggeration. My wife and I would never want to go back to the kind of prayer life and spiritual life we had before the cancer, never. Every so often, Kathy and I will say we’re having a much better life now.”
“…revival is extraordinary. How long has it been since the world has experienced a general spiritual awakening? The majority of persons living in the western world would have to admit they have never seen revival. America itself has not known a general revival for more than a 100 years. Revivals have become so scarce that much Pentecost of the Church is hardly aware of their absence. When an entire generation of Christians can live and die without ever having come close to a genuine revival, such a moment of God is extraordinary indeed!”
