    Pain can work in many different ways in our lives. It can protect, purify, etc. We can actually profit in pain. Christ prevailed over pain. In eternity, for the saint there will be no more pain; for the sinner there will be nothing but pain.

    THE POWER OF PAIN SCRIPTURE: Romans 8:22 “For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now.” INTRODUCTION: All nature suffers at the present time with the strong injuring the weak, the rich charming the poor, the wild animals destroying the weaker ones, and ...read more

    Contributed by Greg Nance on Mar 1, 2008
    based on 9 ratings
     | 7,027 views

    Jesus called disciples to follow him. What did he really mean by "follow me"? Luke 9 gives us some insight.

    Martin Luther once said, “A religion that gives nothing, costs nothing and suffers nothing, is worth nothing.” (from Philip Gunther’s intro.) What does Jesus mean when he says, “Follow me”? We need to ask ourselves, am I just tagging along or truly following Jesus? When Jesus says to us, ...read more
