18.22: Salvation - Understanding Suffering

Crossing the Jordan

Today we talk about suffering. Why is there suffering, Gods permissive will, suffering proves God's existence, satan's role in suffering, not because of personal sin, the prosperity gospel, and the power of suffering in Christ that is expected and normal part of the Christian life, for union with Christ and for the sake of others, purifies our hearts, and we can REJOICE in our sufferings!
