1d47985 What harmony is there between Christ and Belial?" (v. 15). The word harmony here is a musical term. We aren't even playing in the same orchestra with the unsaved!

He's working out his purposes for us, even though he doesn't always explain his reasons." Warren W. Wiersbe

When we read the greatest writings of the ages, our hearts may be stirred and our minds instructed, but when we meditate on the words of Christ, we share in the wonder of his life.

a4db287 Of itself, suffering doesn't make people better. Sometimes it makes them bitter. But when suffering is mixed with faith and God's grace, then it becomes a wonderful tool for building godly character (2 Cor. 12:1-10). If suffering alone gave people wisdom and character, then our world would be a far better place, because everybody suffers in one way or another. When we accept our suffering as a gift from God and use it for His glory, then it.. Warren W. Wiersbe
