Is Comfortable Healthy ?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Health and Comfort—is that a right ?
Health and Comfort—is that reality ?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
No Pain, No Gain.
“Man is born unto trouble as the sparks fly upward.”
“Woe to those who are at ease in . . .”
“Take your ease, eat, drink, and be merry . . . This night . . .”
“We must through much tribulation enter . . .”
God rarely chooses to use someone mightily, without first testing him severely.
“Whom the Lord loves He chastens, and scourges . . .”
What is Comfortable ?
“He will send you a Comforter,” not Comfortable.
“God does not call us to be nice; He often call us to be confrontational.”—–Sandy Rios
“Jesus and I will recognize each other right away, because of the time spent ‘in the fellowship of His suffering.'”—-Joni Erickson Tada
“I’d rather be in this wheelchair, knowing Jesus—than out of it, not knowing Him.”—–Joni Erickson Tada
Christians in China pray for American Christians to have persecution, so we can experience the sweetest relationship with Jesus.
“Endure hardness as a good soldier of Jesus.”
“The peace of God passes all understanding.”
Jesus promised us peace and blessings and comfort, not comfortable.
Spiritual comfort—promised.
Physical comfort—not promised.
Rich man and Lazarus—beggar had uncomfortable here, comforted and comfortable in heaven—rich man had comfortable here, torment in hell.
“God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.”

After the fall, work is still a blessing, but cursed to be hard.
Paradise Restored—work without weariness, work without worry.
So tired, so beat, so exhausted—just want some rest—oh, that’s what heaven’s for.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
