Chet, I noticed you liked my note, so naturally, I followed the trail to your publication, and wow, what a find. I loved your take on the millionaire who failed at being poor... It’s like someone doing an escape room with a key in their pocket the whole time? The line about God working through you is the kind of reassurance I’d need if I were crying out for bug spray in Brazil. And speaking of bug spray, if it doubles as perfume, you might just be onto something here. Also, consider me a fan and, of course, subscribed. Looking forward to reading more of your work!
Awesome article! I have to say, while your pastor made some mistakes, his confession and choice to step down in order to study what is true, says a lot about his character. I applaud him.
Years ago God led me on a discovery of what I call the doctrine of suffering in the Bible. Sadly, suffering in today’s church is blindly dismissed as Satan’s work while the biblical truth is, in the life of a believer, God has a purpose for it.
Jesus says to rejoice in suffering (Matthew 5:11-13). Paul says suffering brings sanctification and character (Romans 5:3-5) Peter tells us when we suffer we share in the sufferings of Christ (1 Peter 4:13).
Years later, as I am now fighting a chronic illness that has me on my butt, unable to do even the slightest tasks most days, I find hope in knowing that God has a purpose for all this. If nothing else, my prayer is that others will see my unexplainable hope through this hell I’m living in and see the awesomeness of the God who gives me strength in my weakness.
