    When you undergo afflictions, go over your convictions.

    JOSEPH BAYLY ONCE SAID, “Never doubt in the dark what you learned in the light.” But we do, don’t we? When we go through times of trial, we lose sight of what we believe. We have a tendency to see only the bad our afflictions. For example, when the heat’s on, we may assume ...read more

    Dr. Havner say it I believe the ministers have a twofold are dual ministry. He said, “The business of a preacher is to comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable.”

    The comforting. Acts 9: 32 -- 42. 01/07/04 Vance Havner was a wonderful preacher of the gospel. He is known for a lot of one-liners that draw attention all the time.

    "It Is Good For Me That I Have Been Afflicted..."

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Dec 11, 2025
     | 367 views

    I have taken the title of this sermon from my text In Psalm 119:71. In which we read, “It is good for me that I have been afflicted..." Now what rational man would say such a thing? “It is good for me that I have been afflicted..."

    Paul basically said such a thing also in a different way in Romans 8:28 and we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. “ALL THINGS” includes the good and the bad. But it is difficult sometimes to understand IT IS GOOD ...read more

If a person was stricken with an illness it reflected on some sort of sin. If he suffered financial loss, it was sin-related.. If his children grew ...read more
