1 | The lessons of suffering | Col 1:24 | LuckyCharm | 45208 | ||
I'm sorry if you find the thread overlong, Searcher, but I just don't think things are always so black-and-white. For example, I stayed with an abusive man for seven years because I thought it was my duty as a Christian, and that God would hold me to my vows no matter how bad the situation became. In your viewpoint, this wouldn't fall into the category of suffering "for His sake," but I disagree. My examples were intended to cover a broad range of circumstances, to get as many thoughts and ideas as possible on this subject. I have seen people counseled, in almost every type of difficulty imaginable, to "offer it up to the Lord," and to bear their trials patiently "for His sake." I was wondering whether this advice could really be applied so broadly, or whether there are situations that can't be offered up this way. --Cheryl |

Cheryl, Search the Scriptures on suffering. I think you have been mistaught about suffering. When you study -set aside all you have been told about this subject. -look up words like suffer, persecute and trails. See what the Bible says. -pray before you start, during and after. -take your time. Searcher |
