Sermon Summary

How can we consider our afflictions, "light?" Suffering is a reality we must often endure. Who should we blame? Why do godly people suffer?

At the time of this sermon, Elder Pyles references a good man he knew who was suffering. He said, "There is something, to night, in my carnal, natural reasoning, that tells me that's not right." He referred to a once very able preacher and writer, J.D. Holder. "For 5 years in bed, mind gone, unable to communicate - like a vegetable."

In this sermon Elder Pyles speaks to the questions raised by Asaph in Psalms 73, in a sermon titled, "Why Do Good People Suffer?"

It is a lengthy sermon but full of Scripture on the subject of suffering, (Over 1 hour, 8 minutes.)

Some of the interesting points made in this sermon cover suffering in general, the difference between punishment and chastisement and our view points toward each. 2 extremes parents have in training children, 4 steps of blame, negatives and positives, Paul's thorn in the flesh, sufferings and glory - just to name a portion of relevant topics.

This sermon was preached at Eureka church in Georgia, 1976. (You will hear reference to then Pastor, Elder Raybon Lord.)
