God's Purpose in Human Suffering
The existence of suffering is often brought up as a problem for Christians. Some say, “If God is entirely good, and completely powerful, then why is there human suffering?” Dr. James Boice views this problem as too simple a description of who God is and how He works. Tune in this week to the Bible Study Hour, as Dr. Boice teaches on God’s purpose for human suffering.

In the running of the Christian life, we can err by looking only at the past; this is sin, for it is a lack of faith in God’s future blessing. But we can also err by looking only at so distant a future that we miss the more immediate blessings that God has in store for us now. If we are really to engage in that great struggle for God’s best, we must also prepare for vigorous spiritual conflict. Our striving is not only against ourselves or circumstances but against the spiritual forces of this world that would seek to hinder us.
