"And when they had preached the gospel to that city and made many disciples, they returned to Lystra, Iconium, and Antioch, strengthening the souls of the disciples, exhorting them to continue in the faith, and saying, 'We must through many tribulations enter the kingdom of God.' "
Acts 14:21-22
The prosperity Gospel and easy Christianity are peculiar to the American Church since the 1960s. They certainly have no Scriptural support. Historically and biblically, Believers have suffered for their faith. The Bible says those who live godly will suffer persecution (II Timothy 3:12). Our souls need to be strengthened to continue in the Christian faith – not a "name it and claim it" faith.
Today's Thought: Tribulations are a part of the genuine Christian life.
Have an strengthened day. Love you.
