The Force of Fear

This message starts out moving through the context. But it is just that that leads me to go down a track I have never really heard preached on. The fact that there are no boundaries in the Christian life except those set by God Himself at any given season. By that I mean no boundaries of pain and suffering He might allow. I share things I have gone through in my life as a pastor teaching the Word faithfully year after year, when suddenly all hell breaks lose in my life and I find to my shock and staggering amazement... God has actually allowed for His own purposes things I never ever dreamed he would a allow a bible reading, praying devout Christian to suffer. Nobody told me this up front. As I said I never heard it taught on. And to this day I am astonished at what he has allowed in terms of pain, physical, emotional, mental and spiritual in my life... So know this if anything, you are not alone. And God will bring you through times so bad, you wished you never met Him. And you will come out loving Him and His Word more than ever. Actually once this message gets going it barely scratches the surface of what I have gone through. But for now, it is, I think, enough. Having learned more than ever, "The Way Out is Forward."

Your comrade in tribulation and pain... & ultimately the Sufficiency of Christ,
