    Every word in the Bible is for us to learn from; and we learn something from the words or actions of every character in it; so what are we to learn from David's psalms or prayers which invoke God's curses on his enemies

    Psalm 35 (especially verses 1-9) David’s ‘Imprecatory Psalms’ We believe the Bible is the inspired Word of God and everything in it is in it for our good in some way, so when we read about people and their actions and words, we are to learn from them, and either copy them or ...read more

    We’re not exempt from affliction, but God is working behind the scenes to bring good out of trouble. He’s not holding back; He’s involved. This should give us a better attitude toward suffering.

    Sermon Series on Romans 8> Reasons to be ENCOURAGED Reason #7, God has a plan! Rom 8:28-30 We look at our lives and sometimes wonder what God’s higher purpose must be.

     | 3,370 views

    Trials and tests are no fun. James doesn’t tell us to consider it fun but to "consider it all joy." Trials and tests are gut wrenching and drawn out at times, but the one thing that we must know is that God is with us through the whole ordeal.
