Like it or not, but there are times when pain is actually used to purify. While we choose to seek a lifestyle of ease and comfort, God will often sacrifice our comfort to improve our character.

Pastor Jeff continues to glean valuable spiritual principles from the discipline of God to those whom He loves. It gives comfort to know that the difficulties we experience are not for nothing in the Lord’s economy. With more on that, let’s join Pastor Jeff in Acts 5 for our encouragement in Sound Doctrine.
