    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 7, 2022
     | 2,795 views

    Most of us, at one time or another, have attempted to comfort someone in distress. We all have different ideas about how this should be done.

    Illus: Did you hear about the three men that were dying of terminal diseases? They all began to talk about how they never thought this is how they would leave this world. A nurse thought she would bring some comfort to these three fellows by asking them, “If you had a choice, how you would like ...read more

    Most of us, at one time or another, have attempted to comfort someone in distress. We all have different ideas about how this should be done.

    Illus: The different ways we do this, reminds me of three elderly men who were passing the time discussing the ideal way of leaving this world. • The first man, age seventy-five, said he would prefer to go to sleep one night and not wake up the next day. • The second man, age eighty-five, said he ...read more

    The Dark Night Of The Soul

    Contributed by Dr. John D. Wentworth on Jan 6, 2022
     | 2,326 views

    The phrase “dark night of the soul” comes from a poem by St. John of the Cross (1542-1591), a Spanish Carmelite monk. According to the poet, the “dark night of the soul” is synonymous with traveling the “narrow way” that Jesus spoke of in Matthew 7:13-14.

    TITLE: THE DARK NIGHT OF THE SOUL TEXT: 2 Cor. 4:7-10 “But we have this treasure in jars of clay, to show that the surpassing power belongs to God and not to us. 8 We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; 9 persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but ...read more

    Consolation In Christ

    Contributed by Larry Grant on Aug 1, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,158 views

    Paul’s point is that our own sufferings enable us to identify with those who suffer—and enable them to identify with us. Then they will sense the reality of the comfort we have received from God and find their own comfort in Him. The principle is important. Ministry requires vulnerability.

    Consolation – Relief or Support. As nouns the difference between consolation and comfort is that consolation is the act of consoling while comfort is the state of ease. Bless Him because He is God! You find this phrase “blessed be God” in two other places in the New Testament, in Ephesians 1:3 and ...read more

    God Has To Bruise You, To Use You

    Contributed by John Gaston on Aug 17, 2022

     | 4,098 views

    Why do Christians suffer? For us to be a tried & tested people; to help us be sympathetic to others; to show the lost how Jesus makes a difference. God lets us suffer, then receive comfort, so that we can give His comfort to others.

    GOD HAS TO BRUISE YOU, TO USE YOU 2 Cor. 1:3-7 INTRODUCTION A. WHY HAS THIS HAPPENED TO ME? 1. M. Night Shyamalan's film “Unbreakable” begins with a train wreck.

    Gird Yourselves And Lament

    Contributed by Mike Bryant on Feb 22, 2021
     | 1,864 views

    As Joel addresses a nation brought to its knees by a locust plague, he leaves us with a plan for surviving overwhelming disaster in our own lives. Broad outline borrowed from "The Day of Disaster," a sermon by W. Maynard Pittendreigh.

    I) In Joel 1:1-3, God through His prophet addresses a people faced with absolute calamity. A) He asks, “Has anything like this happened in your days, or even in the days of your fathers?” (NKJV). He says that the nation faces a crisis greater than any seen in generations (“or even in the days of ...read more

    When you rely on the promises of God, you can look ahead with confidence, look up with commitment, and look around with compassion.

    John Ortberg, in his book If You Want to Walk on Water, You’ve Got to Get Out of the Boat, cites a medical study in which 122 men who had suffered their first heart attack were evaluated on their degree of hopefulness and pessimism: “Of the 25 most pessimistic men, 21 had died eight years later.

    Nothing we experience can ever compromise the comfort God has for us.

    Looking back over the past year there are many things we can be thankful. Often times we only remember the bad things and forget that God got us through those times by his grace. We can’t change the past, but we can be thankful for how God brought us through on the victorious way. As we ...read more

    But yet, without those things which cause us to be thankful, here is Paul, thanking God. Maybe we can learn something from him. For what was Paul thankful?

    One of the many paradoxes of the Christian life is that the grace of God is most keenly experienced not in the best but in what seems to be the worst of times. However much the Christian longs for exaltation it is when he is humble he receives grace.
