  • There are those who tell unbelievers that if they become Christians, all their troubles will be over. In reality, to become a Christian means to enter into an intense battle, and battles involve suffering. In this lecture, Dr. Derek Thomas examines what Scripture teaches us concerning the suffering of Christians in the present age. He will look at Christian suffering as part of the ongoing conflict between Christ and the seed of the Serpent.

    I want to ask DR. Thomas a question. Does anyone know how to get in touch?

    God has never ever answered any of my prayers. Not even one. If someone else prays for me, will that help.

      @@wesleyhite8203 That is a long time. Patience is a FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT.
      THE BOOK of JOB is a great example to study.
      Patience and long suffering are two of the virtues that connects us with Jesus.

      I've read all about Job. God and Satan toyed with him and his emotions. I feel like that is exactly what god is doing to me. I had 2 businesses go under, my marriage fell apart, and my only son hung himself. God has all the power In Heaven and earth. He has all the knowledge and wisdom of the entire Universe. Y doesn't he ever help me.

      @@wesleyhite8203 I will pray for you brother. God never promises us a happy life..That is taught in many apostate churches..The Bible teaches the opposite. Search the rest of Derek's sermons. He preaches on these things. Keeping asking. Keep seeking. Keep knocking. Keep confessing that you are unworthy, as we all are. Hold on to His promises...

    Psalms 22 does not say God turned his back. It says he answered him from the horns of the alter.

      God has definitely turned his back on me. He has turned his face away.

    Peter: it is a real key, because I hold it. It holds the true name of the Father, P.A.W. and the first word spoken. It is a key that I have wanted to give away for some time to the right person. But I have not met the person worthy of receiving it.

    The Apostle Paul, (a converted Hebrew,) self-confessed "Pharisee among Pharisees," stood on his " Roman Citizen's Rights," Under Roman Law, although he had Persecuted Christians using that very Roman Law! This guy accidentally gets carried away, he even quotes questionable modern writers, "J.R.R. Tolkein's, The Lord of The Rings, Fantasy Characters, 'Frodo,' and it's Hellish 'Orcs,' and other figures as well as an a Puritan Oxford Don, Thomas Goodwin." My goodness, error with correct, muddled, together, as all men do, either on purpose or accidentally. Study for yourself, also, ALWAYS. Lisa Rae Rousseau ✝️
