A Simple Solution To Suffering Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 12, 2021

Paul was a great sufferer of all kinds of unjust pain, and it was not because of sin, but because he was a servant of Christ.

Almost everyone who writes on suffering does so out of their own personal encounter with this mysterious monster. In ...read more

Contributed by Dave Mcfadden on Apr 20, 2015

The Romans tortured Jesus out of ignorance. But is that a justifiable excuse?

He who finds his life will lose it, and he who loses his life for My sake will find it” (Matthew 10:38-39) What happened at the college called Virginia Tech in the eastern United States, was simply terrible.
