    The Suffering Savior Gives Better Blessings

    Contributed by Don Schultz on Feb 18, 2015
     | 6,309 views

    The desire to follow the "genie in the lamp" Jesus gets the best of us sometimes. What does the real Jesus offer to us?

    Feb 2015 Monday Chapel A lowly Savior gives bigger and better blessings Is it OK or not OK to call people names? Probably not OK. Even if the person deserves to be called something - jerk, idiot, freak - you know you shouldn’t do that - you shouldn't call people names. How about Satan - have ...read more

    There is no easy answer to the most taxing question of ’Why does God allow suffering?’- but we, as Christians, have the only answer.

    "Why Is There So Much Suffering In The World?"

    Contributed by Paul Fritz on Jun 28, 2006
    based on 30 ratings
     | 3,746 views

    God is able to use the mystery that suffering often brings. Yet, some people quickly reach the end of their rope when they encounter adversities. The Lord’s grace is sufficient for any weakness, confusion or problem.

    "Why is There So Much Suffering in the World?" John 9:1-9:38 "It was neither that this man sinned or his parents, but in order that the works of God might be displayed in him." (John 9:4) Many people fail to understand God’s greater purposes for physical suffering. Instead of allowing the ...read more

    When Life Gets Rough “Suffering” When God calls us to suffer 1 Peter 1:6-7 Life ought to come with a list of side effects.

    While We Suffer (Covid And The Christian) Series

     | 6,041 views

    A word we don't like is submission. We certainly don't like it when we feel as if we're being wronged somehow. “Submission” is the key ingredient that enables a Christian to live a good life among the ungodly!

    I’m confident that in the years that follow, there will be plenty of articles and books written about this chapter in world history and in church history. And they will address the question, “what lessons did we learn from all of this?” And I’m confident that much of that will be helpful. Looking ...read more

    Suffering From Poor I Sight

     | 3,804 views

    When we suffer from poor i sight we are never grateful to God.

    We suffer from poor I Sight. Not eyesight, a matter of distorted vision that lenses can correct, but I sight. Poor I sight blurs your view not of the world but of yourself. Some see self too hightly. Maybe it’s a PhD or predigree. A tattoo can do it, so can a new truck or the Noble Prize. ...read more

    We know that Christ’s return is imminent. The Bible contains prophecies that could not have been fulfilled until this generation. It’s encouraging to think that we appear to be living in the generation that will ultimately witness the most important and e

    Like Peter Claver, we can be means of helping others to escape the slavery of sin.

    September 5, 2011 Testimony of the Saints Labor Day I sometimes ask my students what occupation God would put on his tax return, if He had to file one. That usually brings puzzled looks until I say 45-2093, farming. God’s original occupation on earth is planting a garden. In it he put a ...read more

    An Eternal Weight Of Glory Series

     | 8,815 views

    We should be grateful for God’s earthly, physical blessings and protection, but we should be even more grateful for the eternal blessings he gives us.

    An Eternal Weight of Glory (2 Corinthians 4:7-18 with Psalm 116) My view is that 2 Corinthians 4:7-18 is based on Psalm 116 (the 2 Cor. passage is a midrash). See if you agree. The “starting text,” Psalm 116:3-19 3 The snares of death encompassed me; the pangs of Sheol laid hold ...read more

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Sep 24, 2025
     | 69 views

    Pleading with God to remember, is what Jeremiah fell back to, and this persevering prayer is examined. Reproach overtook the people as they lost everything and were despised. Today we see the same in so many African nations where believers suffer for Christ. A touching message.

    THE BOOK OF LAMENTATIONS – PART 38 – WE LOOK AT THE BEGINNING OF COMPLAINTS – INHERITANCE HAS BEEN LOST - CHAPTER 5:1-2 Chapter 4 has ended and we saw some absolutely horrible things that were happening because the people were downtrodden by Babylon and persecuted by the Edomites.
