Contributed by James Wallace on Apr 19, 2021

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.

One of the good things to come out of suffering is this: It forces those who cannot see any sense in it to grapple with the mystery, and strive to squeeze some meaning out of it. Almost everyone who writes on suffering does so out of their own personal encounter with this mysterious monster. In ...read more

Praise keeps us power oriented, but lack of praise leads us to be problem oriented. When we do nothing but focus on problems we tend to be led downward to pessimism and discouragement.
