Her grief has been very different than mine. Okay. Hard doctrines are incredibly helpful in tragedy. How can we be true to the gospel in a world where myths and false visions of the world so often prevail?Trevin Wax is senior vice president of Theology and Communications at LifeWay Christian Resources and a visiting professor at Wheaton College. Jesus is with us now. In that nightmare, I would become angry and bitter, and I would walk away from the Lord, and I would forsake my faith.And so, the night of November 10th, my son professed faith in Christ. Praise the Lord that maybe your worst is that you lost a job.” That’s okay.
A child who is well-catechized is being prepared to suffer well. I wish I had the magic words, but I just do not know what to say.
I can remember just being driven crazy by this song… I like the song, it’s a good tune… by the band fun., Carry On. My wife, Lauren, and I went to their retreat.
by Trevin Wax | July 3, 2019. He is coming with hard truth; not the pleasant, “God loves you, God has a comfy pillow for you in Heaven.” This is hard truth to swallow.
What is it between the despair and the hope? That’s why there is nothing that can create more anxiety than having someone else pick you up to take you to the airport, particularly if that person is chronically late… and I’m not going to tell the story about how my friend Anna over here missed a flight because I was late picking her up to go to the airport a couple of months ago… but when we’re talking about waiting on the Lord, when he talks about waiting on the Lord here, he is saying, “Lord, you have total control.
My bad.You here, and then you there. I mean, David effectively rapes a woman. You have to be very careful to try to share common experience to suggest that you’ve gone through something they’re going through… but to talk about the hope I have and things like this, it has to do with the gospel.I would speak more in your own voice, “This is my experience,” than sounding preachy to them, but I think those are some words that I might offer.Everyone, thanks so much. O Lord, hear my voice. I wait for the Lord.
He sent me a message the day of my son’s funeral, and it said, “I’m so sorry,” and so on and so forth.
Yep.Audience: And number two, you communicated that sometimes we try to control our [inaudible].Cameron Cole: Yeah, okay. The last thing I’ll say is, hope in the Lord, for in the Lord is steadfast love, and in Him, there is plenteous, plenteous redemption.Let me pray for us, and then I’ll take some questions.Lord Jesus, thanks for your goodness and your loving kindness.
He is the general editor of The Gospel Project, and the author of multiple books, including This Is Our Time, Eschatological Discipleship, and Gospel Centered Teaching.. A former missionary to Romania, Trevin hosts a blog at The Gospel Coalition and regularly contributes to The Washington Post, Religion News Service, World, and Christianity Today, which named him one of 33 millennials shaping the next generation of evangelicals. Cameron Cole: My name is Cameron Cole, and I’m the director of children, youth and family at the Cathedral Church of the Advent in Birmingham, Alabama. O is real, hope in the Lord, for with the Lord there is steadfast love, and with Him is plentiful redemption, that He will redeem Israel from all his inequities.
They have an abundant sense of hope, and what is it between the two? You’ll carry the memory with you forever.” I’m just going to tell you, folks: that does not get it done. One of the best letters I ever got was from the headmistress at the school that’s associated with my church, and she just wrote, “My heart is broken with you. So, I hope that it helpful.Cameron Cole: Got it. I know that there’s nothing I can say that can make this right.” That right there, coming in with humility in that kind of way is really, really helpful.I do think that one thing that is particularly helpful to say is to lead with empathy, to let a person know, “I want you to know that my heart is broken. My soul waits, and in His word I hope. I wait for the Lord. So we see that he waits, he’s giving the Lord control, but he is also expectant that the Lord, in His time, and on His terms, and in His way, can redeem and heal him.I think a helpful thing to do, and I’m not going health, wealth and prosperity… don’t hear me wrong here… I think a helpful thing to do is to turn our prayers when we are in suffering into expectant prayers, and to pray… and when we pray with people who are suffering, to pray with expectation.

And so, I thought, “Okay, what is the thing that would cause me to lose my faith?” I would always land at the same place. You have permission to lament. “I cry to you, O Lord.” Who is the direct address in Verse 2? So that’s one of the things that most encourages me. So, is that a sufficient distinction? I encountered both in 24 hours.My wildest dream is truly that my children would come to know Jesus as their Savior and Lord.
I had this sense, had this confidence could heal me and that God could redeem our life, and that my life was not ruined as I had anticipated.So, in the next month, I would find myself saying over and over to my wife, Lauren… I would say, “Honey, I have no idea how a person could survive something like this if they didn’t believe in…,” and it would always be some piece of biblical doctrine.
