Why Do We Suffer?

Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Jan 2, 2024

No matter which direction you turn, it won't take long to come across someone who is suffering. And the common question that is asked in the midst of that suffering is, why me? Unfortunately, many individuals never get past those words.

Hope For The Suffering (Job 14)

Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Dec 24, 2025

If we suffer is there hope?

Should a brief life invest in eternity? Does such hope help us endure suffering, comfort the suffering? Let’s look at Job 14.
