All Content in Suffering & Persecution:
Persecution For Good Is Distinct From Consequences For Being A Jerk
We are blessed when we are persecuted for doing good. We are blessed when we are reviled for righteousness sake. But we are NOT blessed if we are fools, merely experiencing the natural consequences of being a jerk. Discernment and spiritual maturity is required to know the difference.
Christian Masochism
Yes, God uses suffering to sanctify us. Christians are even commanded to be thankful in all circumstances, including suffering. However, there is a difference between thanking God for suffering and asking God for suffering. We are never to petition God for pain
Dismantling The “Poverty Gospel”
Prosperity is not God’s stamp of approval on our lives, but neither is poverty. A person can be rich and wicked. Likewise, a person can be poor and wicked. God uses both suffering and blessing to sanctify his people.
TRIGGER WARNING! | All Poverty Is Rooted In Sin
All poverty is caused by sin. If you’re poor, your poverty can always be tracked back to some kind of sin.

If You’re Not Persecuted, You Might Not Look Like Jesus
Jesus said that the world will hate his disciples because it hated him. If we aren’t experiencing any degree of persecution, it might be because we don’t look anything like Jesus.
Shepherds Who Shut Their Churches Scattered The Sheep
Many Christians have been “homeless” for the past couple years. Their cowardly pastors shut the church doors and effectively banished them from the sanctuary. King David had a similar experience, and there is much that we can learn from his exile from Jerusalem.
