Where Is the Church When It Hurts?
Author and speaker Philip Yancey writes:
One day a man said to me, "You wrote a book called Where Is God When It Hurts, right?"
"Yes."
"Well, I don't have much time to read. Can you just answer that question for me in a sentence or two?"
I thought for a second and said, "I guess I'd have to answer that with another question: 'Where is the church when it hurts?'"
