Deep diseases ail you
And your death is near,
Know that Christ your Maker
He alone is Taker
Of your life and fear,
Fall before His power and pray:
Jesus, I now trust you merely,
You have bought me dearly.

2005 Desiring God National Conference: Suffering & the Sovereignty of God: God has brought us to a deep conviction at Desiring God that he is indeed sovereign over all things, including suffering, and that he is good and wise. We believe this is what the Bible teaches. We believe that it is good news for suffering people. We believe the alternative is hopelessness. To strengthen the faith of God’s people in the sovereignty of God in suffering we are focusing this year’s national Desiring God Conference on Suffering and the Sovereignty of God. We have invited five very thoughtful lovers of God’s sovereignty to come help us go deeper into the wisdom and goodness of God. Speakers include: Joni Eareckson Tada, David Powlison, Carl Ellis, Mark Talbot, Steve Saint, and John Piper. Click here for more information and to register.
