In part 4 with disappointment amidst faith, I want to look at the last question people typically ask - is God silent? Students of His Word will say of course not, that's what His Word is for. We find however, He doesn't just speak through His Word but through His people. As God is in us through the Holy Spirit, the comfort our fellow members of the Church is an extension of God's comfort from God Himself, which includes not only prophetic functions of the Kingdom but simple acts of agape love by mourning with those that mourn, weeping with those that weep, or just being present to listen unjudgingly in a spirit of humbleness.
