Human experience always contains both pain and joy. One of the reasons we can be confident that Christianity is actually true is it allows us to make sense of both aspects of the world. Of both beauty and pain.
Philosophy, Happiness, Pain
Its helpful to know the reasons for our faith...it helps us not be so vulnerable to doubt, and it helps us not be so vulnerable to false doctrine.
Christianity, Theology
The facts themselves do not compel belief. God will not force us to trust Him. God gives us the ability to respond and graciously allows us to choose how we will use the freedom that He gave us.
God, Christianity
You can't fake joy. Authentic joy is the kind that grows out of the soil of pain and doubt and fear, because that is the reality of the world.
