This is my definition of suffering:

Living through bad circumstances that you are unable to change.

These days, we face two HUGE problems with regard to suffering:

1.  It is inevitable in every human life.

2.  Contemporary American culture has absolutely no idea what to do about it.

Guess what?

God’s word has a way forward for us.  Turns out the Apostle Paul knew a lot about suffering, namely that, in Christ,

SUFFERING leads to

PERSEVERANCE which leads to

CHARACTER which leads to

HOPE which does not disappoint.
