They no longer have to contend with the issues as faced by the Jewish and Gentiles during Paul's time.

I love the quote "welcome trials with open arms." it takes a lifetime of learning to do that. You have always had issues! Thanks for the comment.

I'll be honest....it's hard for me to embrace suffering and the trials that come. This was right on time for us! I shared the message with my husband and with another friend that is going through some fire right now. Thank you for sharing this message. You have a great blog.

I really appreciate this word, especially the verses from 2 Corinthians. I was teaching some students from James 1 recently and asked them to explain the message of verse 2 - one of them said, "Welcome trials with open arms." I thought that was a great summary and beautiful picture of embracing suffering and trials as God-ordained means of growing in faith and learning to rely on the Lord. By the way, my usual response to suffering is to lay down on the floor. I have issues. Thanks, Tom. I really appreciate this word, especially the verses from 2 Corinthians.

For you know that when your faith is tested, your endurance has a chance to grow” (James 1:2-3). You are an excellent blog writer. I'm very proud of you. I love you!

Dogs, Cats, Bunnies, Gerbils, Fish, Hamsters, etc., the list goes on and on. It is sad when they die, however, we continue to bring pets into our home knowing that death is part of the deal. We focus on the joy they bring instead! Here's to many more years of "Pet Joy" for your family :o) Our family has had more “Pet Funerals” than I care to remember.
