Southside Baptist Princeton, KY

Affliction is seasonal. This thing doesn't last. Will you in your walk with Christ last through it? It is a season. And notice the language that it uses. After you have suffered a little while, months, years, perhaps even decades of suffering. It doesn't feel like a little while. I'm not saying that it does. But at this time of writing in Ephesians, Paul had been a prisoner for about four years. He's been a citizen of heaven in the presence of Christ for more than two thousand years.
