i came across a sermon yesterday night on sermon audio and the topic of said sermon was about making heaven and christ our focus which i fully agree with. the pastor then started talk about "those people that are grumpy all day because of their suffering" and honestly i didnt like his tone. he was kind of mocking them because he says that true christians are joyful even in the most distressful of situations.

making it sound like suffering was a sin or something and them i was reminded of job, jeremiah, asaf and others that went through much suffering and the bible didnt said that they were happy all the time. specially job and jeremiah which were prophets (job talked and heard and even saw God so that qualified him as such)

the bible doesnt tell us HOW long the suffering of job lasted and ditto for jeremiah.

so can a christian be sad and suffer??

i was really surprised to hear this from a baptist pastor. usually charismatics and pentecostals holds similar views.

needless to say that as soon as i heard this i closed the sermon right away. because i dont believe this pastor is even biblical or sane for saying this
