    Contributed by Wade Martin Hughes, Sr on Jul 27, 2024
     | 421 views

    Today we seem to expect exemption from suffering and test. There is a false teaching that if we are really close to God we will not be tested. Ask Abraham, Job, David, Joseph and Jesus about seasons of testing?

    The other night, as all too often happens, I fell asleep in front of the television set, watching who-knows-what and who-knows-why.

In front of you is a container label1ed, "Gourmet Ice Cream: Cherry Almond Fudge". Lifting the lid, again just to explore, just to see what’s there, you ...read more
