The Rewards of a Beggar 

January 6, 2023 by Kathryn Wright in Blog - beatitudes, Luke 16, rewards, Suffering
In Luke 16:19-31, the Lord tells a fascinating story about a rich man and a beggar named Lazarus. He starts the story by painting a graphic picture of the pair. The rich man is wearing purple linen, dining lavishly, and living sumptuously. In stark contrast, the sick beggar is sitting outside the rich man’s gate,

From Rags to Riches 

December 9, 2022 by Kathryn Wright in Blog - Genesis, Joseph, rewards, robes, Suffering
The life of Joseph, recorded in Genesis 37–41, is an exciting narrative, full of danger, deception, dreams, and more. It’s an epic story, perfectly orchestrated to show the sovereign hand of God in His preservation of the nation of Israel and of one of His faithful servants. Several themes recur throughout the narrative of Joseph’s

“The Best Job I Ever Had” (Mark 3:13-19)

September 28, 2022 by Kenneth Yates in Blog - disciples, rewards, Suffering
As an old army guy, I love a good war movie. One of those is the movie, Fury. It’s a story about a tank crew in World War II. There are five men in the crew, and they experience all the horrors of war together as they fight against Nazi Germany. They have been together

Does God Answer Your Prayer About Suffering with Silence? 

May 26, 2021 by Shawn Lazar in Blog - Prayer, silence, Suffering, trials, wisdom
Q. To follow up your blog on Proverbs and the days of evil, why do you think God answers our prayers with silence? Why would He do that, especially when we’re suffering and so desperate for answers? A. Thanks for letting me clarify. I disagree with the premise that God answers those prayers with silence.

Job’s Faith Grew Through Suffering

July 11, 2019 by Shawn Lazar in Blog - Job, Suffering
Job was extremely religious, extremely pious, and extremely good. Even God said, “Have you considered My servant Job, that there is none like him on the earth, a blameless and upright man, one who fears God and shuns evil?” (Job 1:8). But being blameless and upright doesn’t mean you know all there is to know about God

Suffering Opened Job’s Eyes

July 3, 2019 by Shawn Lazar in Blog - Job, Suffering
Job’s three friends had a very legalistic view of the world and of God. They thought everything worked according to a clear and simple law of moral cause and effect—of reward and punishment—in which good people are blessed, and bad people suffer. So when they saw Job suffering, the only explanation for it, given their

Three Ways to Comfort Your Suffering Friend (Job 2:11-13)

June 14, 2019 by Shawn Lazar in Blog - comfort, Job, ministry of presence, Suffering
I was reading an article by a woman who lost her brother, sister, and her sister’s children in a car crash. Horrific. She was stunned. She walked around as if in a fog, unable to think clearly. Of course, friends offered to help. Several said, “Let me know if there’s anything I can do to

Dramatic Irony in Job

June 7, 2019 by Shawn Lazar in Blog - bible, Job, Suffering
Have you ever seen a performance of Romeo and Juliet? Near the end of the play, Juliet takes a drug that induces a temporary, but deathlike, sleep, to avoid marrying a man she does not love. To add to the drama, her body is placed in a tomb. To all appearance she seems dead. But

Update on Sharon’s Battle with Cancer

May 22, 2019 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - Cancer, Grief, Suffering, Surgery
On December 19, 2018, Sharon, my wife of 42 years, went in for a fairly routine surgery to remove a football-size benign ovarian cyst. It turns out that the cyst was filled with cancer. And then the cyst burst and spread the cancer. Since then Sharon has had five chemo treatments. The first four lasted

In the Midst of Trials

December 31, 2018 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - 2 Corinthians 5:9-10, Cancer, Grief, Suffering, Surgery
My wife of 42 years, Sharon Dallas Wilkin, went in on Dec 19 to have a large ovarian cyst removed. All the tests indicated that it was benign. Here is a short catalog of some of the trials since then. We had to wait four extra hours (6 total) before the surgery started. The three-hour
