This can be a challenging book to understand, but this sermon explains it splendidly and offers timeless advice to people of all ages. I highly recommend it.

I’m wrapping up a book that I plan to self-publish, and in it, I joked that 1 Peter 4:19 is a verse you rarely see on coffee mugs. So my youngest daughter got me this for my birthday. Kidding aside, it is a great passage to remind us that, as Christians, we are not immune to suffering and that we should continue to do good while trusting in our most faithful creator. One day the suffering will make more sense to us, but in the meantime, it isn’t like God pulled up the drawbridge after providing us with eternal life and more.
