Alice Cooper has been with his wife, Sheryl Goddard, for over 50 years. They met in 1975 when Goddard joined his Welcome to My Nightmare tour as a dancer and choreographer.
Powerful and personal reflections from Francis Schaeffer on prayer, suffering, and the sovereignty of God during his battle with cancer in 1981:
"God is not a dispensing machine. God is a personal God, and I must allow Him to answer my prayers in the light of His wisdom instead of my limitedness."
Franky Schaeffer: "And that's not a cop-out?"
Schaeffer: "Not at all. It's rooted in the heart of all things and that is, He's infinite; I'm finite. I'll tell you something, nothing could terrify me more, and I'm being very serious, nothing could terrify me more than that I could ask for anything today and get it, because I don't know enough."
Franky: "Including, for your own health?"
Schaeffer: "Oh, absolutely. Just as much as for anything."
Franky: "Are you willing to say that as a person who, ok, let's face it, has cancer that's serious enough so it could be killing you?"
Schaeffer: "Yeah, of course...
If I could wave a wand or push a button and get rid of it, in one sense, of course I'd do it. Who wants cancer? Let's not kid ourselves. It's no pleasure to live with this thing on top my head all the time...
But on the other hand, more profoundly, I think I can honestly say sitting here that I would rather trust God's wisdom than mine."
Starting Night to Shine here in Tanzania tonight, and my heart is already full.
There’s something powerful about watching Kings and Queens arrive, seeing volunteers ready to serve, and knowing this same celebration is happening all over the world at the same time.
This night has never been about an event — it’s about reminding people of their God-given worth.
To every King and Queen tonight: We love you, we celebrate you, and we’re so grateful for you.
REMEMBERING MARTYRS: In February of 2015, 21 men were killed by ISIS on a beach in Libya. They could have saved their lives by accepting Islam, but knowing what awaited them, they chose Christ. Christians around the world continue to draw inspiration from their faith.
