Orthodox Quote for January 28
“When God lets such a person encounter the reality of life in this world with its inevitable storms and heartbreak, it is easy for the person’s faith to crumble under the onslaught. Such persons had been taught that God had promised—promised!—that they would be immune from being overwhelmed by suffering. How could God have lied? In fact, I recall no such promise in the Scriptures.”
