Dallas Notes: Pain and Suffering (Menlo Park Presbyterian Church, 2011)

Pain and Suffering


Hume: If your God is big enough, there is no power of evil

Pray expectantly
You might even say something like 'Let me see something tonight'
Your faith will be encouraged

You want to be prepared for suffering by relationship with God before it comes.
We need to practice the presence of God before we get into suffering so we will be familiar with it when suffering comes.
keep the greatness of God before our minds when we're not suffering so we'll be prepared
then we can even receive suffering with hope

We may not know we've died until later because we're in such good company :-)
