Rejoicing in Adversity
John Davis, President | Blog

Last week, we looked at the way Christians deal with circumstances, especially when bad things happen. How do we see problems differently than unbelievers? What difference does that make in our homes? How do our children interpret our attitudes and words?

O how easy it is to just get mad and grumpy when the rug is pulled out from under us due to forces beyond our control. Last week the message was basically: Don’t complain. Let’s go farther and consider the huge upside of choosing joy.
