     | 2,540 views

    There are some who do not see the Christian life as one that involves physical or emotional pain. The popular message to preach nowadays is the “prosperity message.” That message satisfies a lot of people.

    Does the message of Jesus sound like a tired old re-run? It shouldn't! The Apostle Paul explains why not.
