‘When Facing A Difficult Time From Other People.’

a) 1 Peter 4:12. Do not be surprised by the hard trouble like fire that comes to test you. Do not think some new thing is happening to you.

Chris.
Tamar was a very beautiful woman but her life was violated by a very evil cousin. Sometimes beautiful women suffer because of their beauty. If we have beautiful women in our churches and families we should care for them and look after them well. Their lives, and the lives of children are probably the most vulnerable in the church and in society today.
