Podcasts about where is god when it hurts

When you interview people and you do surveys the vast majority say the times I grew most, especially grew most in my faith, those were hard times, difficult times. And if we hang in there with trust and faith, independence and help of others around us later, we can often look back on those, "Oh, that was a time of redeemed pain. I wouldn't wish it on anybody. I wouldn't wish it on myself." But those things that were most difficult for me, become pillars of faith for most people. So, I would say there's some people on radio and television who will promise you that bad things won't happen to you and they're just wrong. You know, bad things do happen. But I call God the great recycler. He takes things that we wish didn't happen and turns them into things that are useful for us.---Listen to best-selling author Philip Yancey being interviewed by seasoned journalist Lorna Dueck as they discuss Philip's journey through life and faith. Philip experienced many troubles during his childhood which led him to probe the most basic questions and deepest mysteries of the Christian faith. Philip has been guiding millions of readers with his books such as, "Disappointment with God", and, "Where Is God When It Hurts?"  His books have garnered 13 Gold Medallion Awards from Christian publishers and booksellers. Philip currently has more than 17 million books in print, published in over 50 languages worldwide. For Philip Yancey, reading offered a window to a different world. So, he devoured books that opened his mind, challenged his upbringing and went against what he had been taught. In doing so, a sense of betrayal began to engulf him. In his words, “I felt I had been lied to. I realized that God had been misrepresented to me. Then cautiously, warily, I returned, circling around the faith to see if it might be true.” Those discoveries about God and more are contained in Philips recent memoir, "Where the Light Fell", where he takes us on a journey from strict fundamentalism to a search for grace and meaning.

Lead Pastor, Pat Mulcahy closes our sermon series, "Where is God When it Hurts? — The God of All Comfort ".

The post Where Is God When It Hurts? appeared first on Southport Church of Christ.

3 plot/application points from this lesson: 1) Where Is God When It Hurts?; 2) Why Gideon?; and 3) Tearing Down Altars to Create Altars.

Adversity Is God's Call for Self – Examination: 1 Corinthians 11:31-32 “But if we judge ourselves, we would not come under judgment. When we are judged by the Lord, we are being disciplined so that we will not be condemned with the world.” Revelation 3:19 “Those whom I love I rebuke and discipline.”The Value of Pain: In the physical realm pain is one of our greatest protectors. In his book Where Is God When It Hurts, Dr. Paul Brandt speaks of how important pain is to us. What is the first thing you do when you feel pain? You stop and look to see what the problem is, you self – examine.Proverbs 28:13. “He who conceals his sins does not prosper, but whoever confesses and renounces them finds mercy.” Let's focus on the word prosperity. In the Hebrew it means to push forward, to go over to advance. A. God requires that we search out, confess and renounce, (forsake) our sins. B. The presence of sin results in powerlessness. C. John prayed for his friend Gaius that he would prosper in all things and be in good health, even as his soul prospered. 3 John 2. It was John's prayer that Gaius would have a right relationship with the Lord so that God would allow him to push forward, or advance, in business and health. D. If we conceal our sin, we will not prosper.It is for lack of self – examination that many Christians grow cold and self – sufficient. That is one reason why God allows adversity. Adversity forces us to look at our lives. To see what we are doing or not doing which results in pain. Have you noticed that much of the pain you experience is the result of choices you have made which were not directed by the Lord? Self – examination often reveals self – sufficiency. It hurts to realize how we have hurt others and ourselves. But stop and think how much we grieve the Lord when we walk in our strength and understanding. God wants us to depend on Him. Adversity will once again cause us to see things in the proper perspective.The easiest thing to do is to ignore sin. Like cancer, our sin will eat away at our relationship with the Lord until we are obeying the lusts of our flesh and have fallen into spiritual death.Sin is sin. We can have our consciences seared and dulled until we no longer feel that we are grieving the Holy Spirit. Then God doesn't hear from us until we are floundering in our own sea of despair. 1 Corinthians 11:31-32 But if we judged ourselves, we would not come under judgment. 32When we are judged by the Lord, we are being disciplined so that we will not be condemned with the world. If you are experiencing adversity today, stop running. Stop blaming others for what is happening. Stop and look at your life. Is there hidden sin, is there something which stands in the way of the Lordship of Jesus Christ in you life? Are there things which need to be submitted to His Lordship? Then do so. Deal with the plank in your eye before you concern yourself with the speck in someone else's. God wants you to prosper and push ahead in your spiritual walk. Let's remove every obstacle that we may prosper, push forward in our spiritual walk, in our life and health.

Where Is God When It Hurts?

Where Is God When It Hurts?

A native of Atlanta, Georgia, Philip Yancey earned graduate degrees in Communications and English from Wheaton College Graduate School and the University of Chicago. He joined the staff of Campus Life Magazine in 1971, and worked there as Editor and then Publisher. He looks on those years with gratitude, because teenagers are demanding readers, and writing for them taught him a lasting principle: The reader is in control! In 1978 Philip Yancey became a full-time writer, initially working as a journalist for such varied publications as Reader’s Digest, Publisher’s Weekly, National Wildlife, Christian Century and The Reformed Journal. For many years he wrote a monthly column for Christianity Today magazine, which he still serves as Editor at Large. His twenty books include Where Is God When It Hurts, The Student Bible, and Disappointment with God. These books have won thirteen Gold Medallion Awards from the Evangelical Christian Publishers Association and have sold more than fifteen million copies. (Fearfully and Wonderfully Made, In His Image, and The Gift of Pain were co-authored with Dr. Paul Brand.) Christian bookstore managers selected The Jesus I Never Knew as the 1996 Book of the Year, and What’s So Amazing About Grace? won the same award in 1998. His most recent books are Prayer: Does It Make Any Difference?, A Skeptic’s Guide to Faith, Reaching for the Invisible God, and Soul Survivor. In 2009 a daily reader compiled from all his books was published: Grace Notes. The Yanceys lived in downtown Chicago for many years before moving to a very different environment in Colorado. They enjoy hiking, wildlife, and all the other delights of the Rocky Mountains.
