| | Why Does God Allow Suffering? by Dr. A.E. Wilder-Smith
Topic: Suffering
Scripture(s): Romans 8:18, John 10:34 | | Description: If one were to walk into a cathedral in Cologne, and he noticed that there were holes in the walls, and that some of the flying buttresses had been detached from their intended place by bombs, nobody would assume that the architect had been a fool for designing the building the way it was in its present condition. So also we must recognize that, being made as gods (John 10:34) we were given the free will to choose our present condition. God is not to be blamed for the suffering we have chosen, neither is He to be blamed for the wreckage as a result of it. Just as our Lord was, so also we need to be perfected through sufferings. Suffering offers mankind the option to change. We were cast out of eternity into time so that our decision could be corrected, and Jesus came and suffered for us so that we could be reconciled.

| | (1 Peter - Part 30): Suffering In God's Will and Out by A.W. Tozer
Topic: Suffering
Scripture(s): 1 Peter 4:12-19 | | Description: Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you
In the 30th message of this delightful, 34-part series on 1 Peter, A. W. Tozer observes three ways to bear adversity, from verses 12 to 19 of chapter 4. He then warns with Peter that the Christian faith is not to provide immunity for wrongdoers
The deacon who doesnt pay his bills, the pastor who leaves the city owing debts, he can not, he dare not, hide these evils behind clerical immunity, or Christian immunity. Dr. Tozer concludes on a note of powerfully compelling evangelism, with masterful analogies to support Peters exhortation that we commit the keeping of our souls to a faithful creator. The sermon was delivered on June 27, 1954, at Southside Alliance Church in Chicago, Illinois. Its length is 28 minutes and 50 seconds.

| | Baptism of Suffering by Edgar F. Parkyns
Topic: Suffering
Scripture(s): John 1:6, Luke 3:16 | | Description: Parkyns explains how the baptism of “fire” really means the baptism of suffering. Christ’s followers are not only baptized with the Spirit, but also with the fire of suffering. It is a privilege to suffer for his name’s sake, and we can even rejoice in trials.

| | Choosing Rather to Suffer by Leonard Ravenhill
Topic: Suffering
Scripture(s): Hebrews 11:23-26,Hebrews 11:37 | | Description: This sermon preached by Ravenhill really gets to the root of alot of the causes of why we don't have genuine revival in North America. He takes the life of moses and shows how he choosed rather to suffer for the sake of Christ then enjoy the pleasures of sin for a short time. The same thing can be asked of the church today? There are many different tangents and convicting statements brought up as the spirit of God lead brother ravenhill to speak. This is a must listen.

| | The Fellowship of Christ's Suffering by Carter Conlon
Topic: Suffering
Scripture(s): 1 Peter 5:8-11, John 13:21 | | Description: October 12, 2008 - We sometimes reason with the question, "if God is God why does there have to be any sufferings on our behalf?" At the Last Supper Jesus offered Judas an opportunity to enter into the fellowship of His sufferings. This would be to partake of a supernatural life for the betterment of others. There are so many Christians today that follow Jesus for what they can get from Him. What about you will you refuse the fellowship of Christ for your own gain or will you take the low road and be spent for the cause of Christ?
