Do you sometimes have the impression that the problems you face are just random events, mere accidents? I'm Richard Pratt, President of Third Mill. It's easy to think that there's no rhyme or reason for the trials that come upon us, but the truth is something else is always going on. It's true that Satan, the evil one, tries to destroy us through the problems we face. But if you love Christ, the Lord uses trials to strengthen you and to move you forward into His blessings. And when we hold onto this truth, we can always find a measure of joy, no matter what happens. As James wrote, in James 1, Canada'll joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds for the testing of your faith always produces steadfastness. At Third Mill, we're not just teaching the Bible. We count our trials joy knowing that God uses them to strengthen us. Now go and advance God's kingdom. Biblical education for the world for free.
