Interview with Randy Alcorn

Why doesn’t God just make every day a “nice” one for all of us, instead of allowing pain and suffering to keep coming our way? Pastor Greg says it’s because God’s primary objective is not making us happy, but making us holy. He wants to be glorified in our lives and make us more like Jesus Christ. Greg continues the account of Job’s suffering and the way his friends “comforted” him. Pastor Greg gives us examples of how to (and how not to) comfort people who are suffering, and then gives some of the reasons for and benefits of our suffering.
