This is what the front page of Morningstar News looked like this afternoon:
Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery trial when it comes upon you to test you, as though something strange were happening to you. But rejoice insofar as you share Christ’s sufferings, that you may also rejoice and be glad when his glory is revealed. If you are insulted for the name of Christ, you are blessed, because the Spirit of glory and of God rests upon you. – 1 Peter 4:12-14
And for those of us tempted to complain about the trials of our days, the brothers and sisters suffering because of these stories above deserve some of your prayer time. Give thanks for their courage, and pray that their burdens are lifted. – Yours in Christ, Dave Alexander
