Part 1
In the introduction of my book Walking Faith I discuss four major views of dealing with suffering. Here is an excerpt from my book dealing with one of those views.
"There are four schools that often permeate our culture regarding suffering. The first is socialism, which seeks to end suffering. Buddhism also teaches this perspective. Socialism presents the idea that suffering can be – and eventually will be – eliminated. The general conviction of socialism is that this will be accomplished in time through science, art, philosophy, politics, and human nature. Socialists believe these things will meld together to erase the troubling problems of life. Social programs are created within the idea of abolishing suffering…Though they may help good people, the do not truly equip the individual to properly deal with life’s issues.”—Pg. xvii-xviii
The question I have for you is what are you trusting in when you go through hardships? God and His word, the Bible, gives us deep insights regarding our lives on Earth and in eternity. Please check out my book Walking Faith: A Journey from Then to Now through James for helpful insights from God’s truth. You can find my book at xulonpress.com or the kindle version at amazon.com.
