On today’s Back to the WORD our pastor Lawrence Manu (RTD) dives into his series on "Pain & Suffering in life”. He begins this series with “ The problem of Pain and Suffering” by presenting the notion that pain and suffering in life comes to trouble our minds, bodies, souls, and spirits. Although, most of the pain and suffering in life is due to the fallen human condition. The result of physical pain and stress can arises from our troubles, lack of purpose, death, emotional stress, rejections, oppression, abuse, agonies, hurts and injuries, sicknesses, tragedies, and disasters. People throughout the generations have sought to understand and question why there are common shared human pain & evil in our world if God is all powerful and good. He mentions that suffering is not always the result of lack of faith but even in such challenging issues of life, God still has a word for us. He goes further to reminded us that troubles and circumstances that is common to man is not always the result of sin but for the glory of God to be exemplified in our precious lives. Not to mention that In the mist of all these calamities, God still has a call on our lives to fight a good fight of faith. Saints must understand and internalize deep within their hearts that if we endure hardship in this life, we will reign with him. As believers when we encounter his glory in our pains and sufferings our faith and action have a tremendous opportunity worked together to make our faith complete. Our sure mandate is to endure anything that this word throws at us if it bring salvation and eternal glory to Christ Jesus. His glory must lead to action to affect every part of this world with the gospel of our Lord and savior Jesus Christ. Let’s get back to the WORD!
