“I do not understand this life of ours. But still less can I comprehend how people in trouble and loss and bereavement can fling away peevishly from the Christian faith. In God’s name, fling to what? Have we not lost enough without losing that too? You people in the sunshine may not believe in faith, but we in the shadow must believe it."
~ Arthur J. Gossip (sermon "When Life Tumbles In," preached the day after his wife collapsed and died unexpectedly in 1927. He faced this loss with tremendous courage.)
