You're going to. In touch, the teaching ministry of Dr. Charles Stanley,

reaching the world with the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Next on in touch, beyond ourselves.

It is in the love and the wisdom of God. ourselves.

It is in the love and the wisdom of God that he has chosen not to tell us many things in life.

One of those aspects of life he does not reveal those things that are going to take place in the future of our life that are difficult trials hardships tribulations

persecution whatever it might be he has chosen not to tell us ahead of time about these things.

Now once in a while he may give us some signal in our life about something that is going to

take place, but most of the time he doesn't.

This is why it is so very important that you and I are continually growing in our Christian

life so that whenever these things take place in our life, we'll be ready for them.

The person who gets saved and says, well, that's good enough in life for me at this point, and I'm just

going to drift now.

What they don't realize is this.

There are those experiences in life that are beyond our control,

beyond our strength to endure,

and if we don't know the key to that endurance, we will tumble and fall sooner later.

And so it is so very, very essential that you and I continually grow in our Christian life.

Now, people face difficulties and circumstances like these in all kinds of ways. For example,

there are some people who face difficulty in hardship and the end result is they lose their faith.

They become angry, hostile, sometimes angry to a God,

begin to be cynical about life, grow old, isolate themselves, and die in a cynical attitude.
