Get Ready To Suffer: Why Playing It Safe Doesn’t Save Souls

Greetings everyone, and may mercy, peace, and love be multiplied to you. We will be in 1 Peter 1 today. Who likes to suffer? If you’re a normal human, nobody likes to suffer. But as a Christian, if you are being faithful, suffering is pretty much a guarantee. All too often, we avoid suffering, but when we play it safe, others miss the opportunity to hear the Gospel. We aren’t supposed to be comfortable, and if that’s your goal in life, perhaps you’re not listening to the Holy Spirit. Life is going to be difficult, but when souls are saved as a result of your faithfulness, the suffering is worth it.Don’t forget to pray for and encourage one another. As a reminder, members can donate online at tithe.ly, or through the tithe.ly mobile app. We have a podcast called “The Highland Gospel Mission” on Spotify, Google, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.“and let us consider how to stimulate one another to love and good deeds,  not forsaking our own assembling together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another; and all the more as you see the day drawing near.” Hebrews 10: 24-25Are you a visitor?
