Problem of Suffering and the Bible

The Problem of a Suffering Christian "Likewise the Spirit also helps our infirmities!" Romans 8:26 A child of God — oppressed, suffering sorely, often driven to his wit's end — what a strange thing! A joint-heir with Christ — financially embarrassed, poor in this world's goods, wondering where his next meal is coming from — what an anomaly!
