The following video will help you to be prepared for suffering; not if it comes, but when it comes. It’s from a Pastor’s conference, Together For the Gospel, and features Matt Chandler, CJ Mahaney and John Piper. Filled with gospel-centred goodness.
Here are some other resources on the subject:
- How Long, O Lord?: Reflections on Suffering and Evil
by DA Carson. This book is brilliant and, after the Bible, is second to none on the subject.
- Treasuring Christ & the Call to Suffer by John Piper. Talk1; Talk2; Talk3; Talk4; Q+A.
- 5 Sermons on Job by John Piper.
Comforting, strengthening and clarifying. The reality of suffering has hardened many a mans heart towards God. I confess, sometimes life doesnt make sense, but if I can, if we all can, find our all in Jesus. Halleluiah
