Making Sense of Suffering
All of us have experienced, in some degree or another, the pain and agony of living in a fallen world. Maybe that pain is due to our own sinful choices; maybe we just woke up one day and were broad-sided by the harsh reality of undeserved affliction. But the pain is real and it may even test our faith. So when we find ourselves in life situations where "everything is falling apart" how do we make sense of it all? Our hope is that by turning to God's Word we will gain crucial perspectives and truths that will guide us as we face the inevitable challenges of life.
Below are resources that we believe will be encouraging and beneficial as we face life's challenges.
