comfort

[PL456]

remember guys,
God never promised you a comfortable life, He promised that He would provide what you needed, not necessarily what you want. Comfort is a desire, not a need. Think on this.

I think alot of young Christians are disillusioned when they get saved initially and then hit upon hard times. often they blame God, expecting that once they try to claim God's gift, everything will be rosy and they'll win the lottery. Here on earth, we are constantly bombarded by temptations and trials. trials and tribulations will come to you, these things must happen to you so that your faith will be strengthened and thus become more pure (see the book of James). dont be disillusioned or disheartened when you have trouble, dont blame God. Look what he let happen to His only Son for our sake.

Re: comfort

Wow, what a topic. Where do I start?

Hmmm....

Here goes. I firmly agree and afirm what PL just stated. On the flip side of that. The love of money and not money is evil. Money seems to be the hardest part of Chistianity to understand for new and non believers. God has tremendously blessed me in the money I make for my family for only being 24. God will only give you what he feels you can handle or more as a test. Faithful tithers is what God wants to see. This is a huge topic, if anyone has any questions about this you can PM me or PL
