Repentance and Suffering in Christian Teaching
A reflective piece on why suffering is not always punishment for sin, citing Job and Jesus, and urging true repentance as a change of heart and direction. It contrasts worldly self righteousness with God’s mercy, and notes Moody and Cuyler on genuine conversion and fruit. The essay ends with a call to repentance beyond mere regret.
