    Called to Suffer

    In what ways have you been called to suffer in this life? What difference did that suffering make in your life? Did it make you bitter or better? Did it produce in you life or death, or both? Did you run to God or away from God? Did it teach you to love or to hate? Did it humble you or harden...

    Christian Topics & Bible Study-You Are a Champion 2 Corinthians 2:14 When we fall into all sorts of trouble, often the first thing we look at, is our defeat and weakness. We think that we become a victim. But God, never sees as a victim! He just can not, because he never created us to be a...

    Faith is What We Look At Luke 5:5

    Faith is What We Look At Luke 5:5 James 1:5,6,7 We will never receive anything from the Lord, and will not have a miracle, if we continue, to analyse, calculate and figure out, what to do in the circumstances of our life, instead of, looking at what God has said in his Word about it. We can...

    Matthew 5:3 - Understanding Suffering

    This week I am focusing on the first BeAttitude from the sermon on the mount, but I can't seem to understand this part just yet. "Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven." A devotional that is going along with this reading makes a point to say that we must mourn to...

    The Pain Of Watching Non-believers

    Oh the pain! Its such a shame! Each day, I attend school, and see all the boys and girls going about their days. I see them with light hearts, roaming, and cheering, unaware of the sins they commit, and transgressions against God's word. I look at them with repulsion, hiding the fact that I...

    What to Do When You Are Sinking in Despair

    Psalm 71:5, 6, 14, 20, 21, Psalm 73:23, 26, 28 This is all of us who believe, have to do, when we sink in the various trials and difficulties of life. Like king David did, rely on his God, all the time, even in the worst situations, when he had oppression and enemies from all directions. His...

    God Knows Better than I

    I believe this song and video beautifully captures the attitude we should have when we are going through trials. Isaiah 55:10-11 NKJV "For as the rain comes down, and the snow from heaven, And do not return there, But water the earth, And make it bring forth and bud, That it may give seed to...

    I think its time to go home

    Hi Folks, My wife and I gave our hearts and lives to Jesus back in the early part of the 1980's. We married a few years before in 1976. What followed was an amazing blessed life, a whole lot of Love, an adopted child that gave us years of joy. <staff edit> I was always discovering little...

    Psalm 77 When You Are in Distress

    Psalm 77 When You Are in Great Distress! Verse 2: When our soul is so distressed, that we naturally refuse to be comforted, because we have lost all hope! Verse 4: That is a great distress! So much trouble and distress that you become numb in your emotions, unable to speak! The solution...

    God sees your suffering and cares!

    Some people say that God does not respond to pain, but only to our faith. I am not sure about that! How can a merciful, loving, gracious and compassionate God, not care or respond when we are suffering? It just does not go like this! God responds to our faith, but also to our suffering! His...

    First Blog Post And I'm Laying It All Out There.

    Status: God's definitely carrying me 'cause there's no way I'm walking on my own two feet right now. My life is a series of tragedies. Some are my fault and some are not. My family is broken and filled with tragedy and anger and suffering and thus, I think it not a great surprise that my life...

    Despised and Rejected

    Friday, March 31, 2017, 2:53 a.m. – The Lord Jesus put in mind the song “Near the Cross.” Speak, Lord, your words to my heart. I read Isaiah 53 (ESV). A Man of Sorrows (vv. 1-3) Who has believed what he has heard from us? And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed? For he grew up...

    Sufferinfg, purgatory, torment and purging

    Technically I believe, if I am not wrong, that Purgatory is after death. But what about spiritual, soul and mental torment in this life? Could not that be considered Purgatory? Did not someone named Constantine say that some would or could or needed to suffer in this life and not after death...

    Was Jesus required to die the way he died?

    Hello! This is a topic I've always had trouble understanding: Was Jesus required to die to save us? And did he have to die the way he did? Is there a direct link between his death, the way he died on the cross, and saving us/forgiving our sins? What I mean is, could he have otherwise just said...

    When We Suffer

    Wednesday, February 22, 2017, 9:44 a.m. – The Lord Jesus put in mind the song “He Keeps Me Singing.” Speak, Lord, your words to my heart. I read 1 Peter 4:12-19 (NASB). The Fiery Ordeal (vv. 12-14) Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery ordeal among you, which comes upon you for your...
