NOT A BOTTLE OF PORT

Living in a culture which obsesses over comfort and happiness, I don't know that we could ever be reminded of this enough:

C. S. Lewis once wrote, "I didn’t go to religion to make me happy. I always knew a bottle of Port would do that. If you want a religion to make you feel really comfortable, I certainly don’t recommend Christianity."

Paul said in 2 Timothy 1:11:

"And of this Gospel I was appointed

A Herald

An Apostle and

A Teacher.

And THAT is why I am suffering as I am."

The Lord does not promise a life of comfort for believers.

Quite the opposite.
