An excerpt from an article I published:

"There were times in which my shared suffering with Hannah was so intense, I thought my heart would literally cease to function. There were times it hurt so badly that I became numb. I questioned God's goodness. I could foresee a time when all would be made right, but in my mind, it did not justify the present situation."

Amen. Thsnk you, from the US. I co-authored a book on Christian ethics that was translated into Korean.

My other connection with Korea is that we hosted an exchange student from Korea last year. He has become such an important part of our family.

Bless you for your boldness in faith.

@emma6USA Balance speaking love, affirmation, and kindness with all truth. We should be positive, but not dishonest. We should be loving at all times, but love includes the truth and will prepare them to live in the real world.

@TheTNHoller @jperotti2 @DavidJoy_Author That's powerful.

I've learned much in my many years of formal education, but suffering has made me a better person. I do not think we should seek suffering. We shouldn't have a sadistic approach to suffering. However, it will happen in this lifetime. When it does, we should seek God's strength and humbly ask God to use it for His glory.

And, the metaphors used for hell in the Bible really don't emphasize anything of a physical nature. Rather, we see outer darkness and isolation by choice.

CS Lewis wrote that there are two kinds of people in the world: those who say to God, "Thy will be done," and those to whom God says, "Thy will be done."

God isn't in the business of creating a torture chamber, the likes as one described by the ancient Greeks. Hell is separation from God.

@xiangqinkoutso2 True. As long as it's the gospel shared in love.

@bamideled10 I have a nice room with plants, but really, any space where it's quiet.

[Ryan Snuffer @RyanPSnuffer]

My bedside. I'm always trying to read many books at once. I finish most of them. In contrast, see my wife's bedside. I wonder if I can talk her into switching sides so I can have a bookshelf.

@TimTebow @jamielcantu Thanks, Tim, for being a voice of light in this dark world and for using your platform to honor our true King.

[Ryan Snuffer @RyanPSnuffer]

@7DeborahCeleste @TimTebow One of my favorite stories is the Road to Emmaus story.

[Ryan Snuffer @RyanPSnuffer]

@TimTebow @jamielcantu It's true. We've all heard the story so much. It is easy to become complacent about it, but it's true. Death to life. New body. Greatest comeback ever.

Somehow, I missed this, but it looks like "work out more" won. Hmm. I wonder how we are doing.

[Ryan Snuffer @RyanPSnuffer]

For 2025, I plan to (pick your top priority). If "Something else" share in the comment section.

For me, the Saturday before Easter is a very special day. It was on this day that I fasted for the very first time. It was also the first time I experienced a true miracle of deliverance. I was having severe anxiety attacks due to major lifestyle changes. These attacks would last anywhere from 30 minutes to a couple of hours. The most intense moments were always during the first few minutes of the attack. Then I would tremble for a long time.

I had been praying and meditating on verses related to fear for several weeks. I was drawing closer to God. Things were not changing with my anxiety until that Saturday in 1994, on the eve of Easter.

I can not explain here how I knew, but that night, after a day of prayer and fasting, an attack came. I got on my knees, and less than a minute later, I got up and knew without a doubt that my attacks were forever gone. The fear left as I thanked God for removing them.

It's been more than 30 years, and I have been through many ups and downs. That is how life is. But I've never had another anxiety attack.

I say this for His glory.

You can't manipulate God. You can't create faith within yourself. But you can stay in the Word, and you can be persistent in prayer.

God's Word is powerful.

The resurrection is powerful.

The same power that raised Jesus from the dead is in us, according to Ephesians 1:19, 20.

Have a blessed Easter.
