Now the topic of this study is
Suffering. Yes don't run or hide. I didn't say a bad
word or something. You probably think its not even
for today. Or suffering is in the past or for old
people. If you are about to stop reading or go
to another page stop now and
read on.
What is suffering....?
Pain,intolerable situation. It can be defined as an
immensely uncomfortable or undesirable situation or
scenario in one's life. Suffering is not neccesarily
physical or lack of money. The worse type of suffering
is the unseen ones. Like depression or any other type of
phycological black eye. Most people would rather have a
physical illness than the former, which most
often transfers to
that.
I like everybody avoided reading
Galation when it spoke of the fruits of the spirit as it
pertains to long-suffering. Thinking within myself that
Christ already suffered so why in God's name must I. But
its after going through a rough situations and diverse
temptations that I fianally came to appreciate
suffering. And believe you me when you get to heaven you
are going to complain to God why he didn't make you
suffer more when you see the rewards of it.
Take these scriptures and then read the
following example of suffering and poem, and thats it
for this mail. (1) "Behold I have
refined thee, but not with silver; I have chosen thee in
the furnace of affliction" Isaiah
48:10. Those of us who know we are called and chosen
think on that scripture. For those that live godly in
Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution. (2) "We are
troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are
perplexed but not in despair; persecuted, but not
forsaken; cast down, but not
destroyed."
So its established that we must suffer,
so might as well we mature and face it.
"One evening the
soldiers talked about a girl they had raped many times
in the course of the afternoon. Through it all, the girl
sang hymns, strange evangelical songs, and she kept on
singing, even after they shot her in the chest. She lay
on the ground with the blood flowing from her chest, but
she kept on singing-a bit weaker than before, but still
singing. Then the soldiers grew tired of this and shot
her again, but still she sang. And then the soldiers
became afraid. Terrified of the girl, they fell upon her
with machetes, and at last the singing stopped,"
>From the New Yorker magazine (December 6,
1993).
About 200 million
Christians worldwide suffer discrimination and
persecution on a daily basis, and millions more are
under threat. As U.S. Secretary of State Madeline
Albright said during the September 5 release of her
department's second annual religious freedom report,
"The sad truth is that religious intolerance remains far
too common in far too many places."

topic:
FUNNY ISN'T
IT?
Funny how simple it is
for people to
trash God ...
and then wonder why most of
the
world's going to hell.
Funny how we
believe
what the newspapers say,
but question
what
the Bible says.
Funny how
everyone
wants to go to heaven
provided they do
not have to believe,
think, say, or do anything the
Bible says.
Or is it scary?
Funny how someone
can say
"I believe in God"
but still follow
Satan (who, by
the way, also "believes" in
God).
Funny how you can send a
thousand
'jokes' through e-mail
and they spread
like wildfire,
but when you start sending
messages
regarding the Lord,
people think twice about
sharing.
Funny how the lewd, crude, vulgar and
obscene pass freely
through cyberspace,
but
the public discussion of Jesus
is suppressed in the
school and workplace.
Funny, isn't
it?
Funny how someone can be so
fired up for
Christ on Sunday,
but be an invisible
Christian
the rest of the week.
Are you
laughing?
Funny how when you go to
forward
this message,
you will not send it to many
on your
address list because
you're not sure what they
believe,
or what they will think of you
for
sending it to them.
Funny how I can be more
worried
about what other people think of me
than
what God thinks of me.
Are you thinking?
