I know two things about struggle.  1.  We all will encounter it in this life.   2.  We all hate struggle.

I know that everyone of us is either going into a storm, coming out of a storm or smack dab in the middle of the biggest tempest of our lives.  

The question I keep asking myself is why does God allow us to go through tough times.  Why doesn’t God just take struggle away from us.  Why does evil exist.  Why does God allow Satan to tempt us and do terrible things.  Why doesn’t God do something?

These are all really important questions.  If you are interested in checking out how why God allows pain and struggle into our lives check out my message, “Struggle,” from Sunday April 19th 2009 at Green Hills Church.

I know that God has a purpose for your life.  Even in the midst of your struggles and pain I believe that God can use your pain to transform you.
