Straight Talk With Suffering Saints

Are you enduring hardship? Have you faced difficulty because of your faith in Jesus Christ? Have you questioned God? Suffering can sometimes cause us to question the validity of the faith or our own salvation. Satan, our enemy, knows this and uses it to his advantage. I Thessalonians chapter 3 deals with this hard subject - suffering as a Christian. In this section of Paul’s letter, the careful reader will notice that the apostle makes a defense of his absence, discloses his fears concerning their faith, and declares his joy over the news brought back by Timothy.
