Our Basic Conduct as a Disciple

 (ID: gs1459)

God bestows great blessings, but He also takes away gifts—including ministry opportunities such as that lost by preaching professor Hershael York’s missionary father. Yet while the apostle Paul lamented the “thorn in the flesh” given him by God, he also found comfort in His all-sufficient grace. York reminds us that while some church leaders may try to rely on world-pleasing strength and wealth, God may use our unwanted suffering to help us rely on Him.
