Fiery Trials 1 of 7 (Introduction)

All Christians, at one time or another, must go through times of adversity and difficulty. We must be sure that when these times come, we respond to them in such a way that we and others reap the full benefit of the purpose the Lord has in mind for the trial. Christians who are unprepared for trials often panic and fail to fully appreciate God’s purpose in the trial. These pages are designed to help you find peace, comfort, and spiritual growth in the midst of the trials that come your way.

 

“When through fiery trials thy pathway shall lie, 
My grace, all sufficient, shall be thy supply: 
The flame shall not hurt thee; I only design 
Thy dross to consume and thy gold to refine” 

(John Rippon)
