When Nothing Seems to Make Sense

Sermon by Adrian Rogers, "When Nothing Seems to Make Sense".
  1. Don't demand to understand;
  2. Don't fail to be faithful;
  3. Don't bow to bitterness;
  4. Don't be unwilling to wait;
  5. Don't let dreams dissolve.
Notable quotes:
Don't doubt in the dark what God has shown you in the light.
It is always too soon to quit, never too late to start.

Who among you fears the LORD and obeys his servant? If you are walking in darkness, without a ray of light, trust in the LORD and rely on your God. But watch out, you who live in your own light and warm yourselves by your own fires. This is the reward you will receive from me: You will soon fall down in great torment. (Isaiah 50:10-11 NLT)

For what credit is it if, when you sin and are beaten for it, you endure? But if when you do good and suffer for it you endure, this is a gracious thing in the sight of God. (1 Peter 2:20 ESV)

Delight yourself in the LORD, and he will give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the LORD; trust in him, and he will act. He will bring forth your righteousness as the light, and your justice as the noonday. (Psalm 37:4-6 ESV)

Refrain from anger, and forsake wrath! Fret not yourself; it tends only to evil. (Psalm 37:8 ESV)

Humble yourselves, therefore, under God's mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time. (1 Peter 5:6 NIV)
