Why Does God Allow Suffering?

Christian Teachings

Ken, your timing in posting this message is what is amazing! I know the Lord used it to give me the other scriptures regarding that one I had, lol. I love it when the Lord does that, and your message ministers to not just ME, but so many others too. God is a multitasking infinitessimal God! Don't know if I spelled that right, lol! But Glory to God for him giving you the unction to post this right now!

I have not yet gotten to the place that I am "rejoicing" at the fiery trials, but this is a guideline that we are to strive for.

Very good teaching Ken! In the heat of the spiritual battle, we need to read this very message, edifying us to keep faithfully fighting on in the battle lines. There is only ONE scripture that I found might also be good to add to your message, lol...only to confirm everything you have said, once again, and which has been coming to me for the past 3 days. With your message here, God has provided all of the other scriptures I was hunting. God is Good!

1 Peter 4:12,13: "Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you: 13 But rejoice , inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy .

Excellent message!
