Today we discuss the common phrase “God won't give you more than you can handle.” Using the Word of God as our guide, we determine whether this saying is erroneous or trustworthy. As part of our dialogue, we also discuss the premise of Christianity, the purpose and value of life trials, and martyrdom.
