Suffering (209)
  1. Satan cannot stand the Gospel, and so he goes to work to undermine and render God’s Word an impotent and absurd message.
  2. I spend a lot of time talking to people in coffee shops. Some share my Christian faith, some are exploring and questioning faith and others have left the church, having had a crisis of faith.
  3. During my recent trip to visit my daughter and her family, my son-in-law got me hooked on Leah Remini’s A&E show, Scientology and the Aftermath.
  4. Inside our heads is a courtroom where our whole lives are put on trial. And we are declared guilty of things. Big things, little things. God things, human things. True things, false things. We never can measure up.
  5. The side of God he has made known to us is Jesus. He is the one and only revelation of the Father, the one and only revelation we need.
  6. He holds you tight and loves you even as you weep and fight in his arms. His Son suffers alongside you as your brother in the flesh.
  7. A crisis of faith always occurs when we begin to believe that God has betrayed us.
  8. I started writing this article about a friend, her struggles through cancer, and the pain of an unfortunate and severe fall that landed her in a hospital, requiring months of rehabilitation.
  9. I looked up at the cross and saw what God had become to bring me home. He had become what I was.
  10. Believe in God, belong to a church, and behave yourself isn’t the Gospel.
  11. They may also be fellow sufferers who’ve hit their own bottom with you. Whoever they are, they wear the mask of Jesus the crucified. In them and through them the Lord is at work to love you.
  12. Without getting into specifics, I have suffered a loss that seemed at times unbearable. I cried. I pleaded. I questioned. I prayed. I drank. Rinse. Repeat.
