From my heart: Unanswered questions, unwavering faith

Over the past few years, I’ve endured a string of devastating personal trials — near death, the loss of a beloved ministry, a broken marriage, and now a serious injury. In the wake of it all, I’ve wrestled deeply with the meaning of suffering, asking whether it's discipline, refinement, or something more.

In my latest article, I share my heart on how God meets us in our pain — not always to remove it, but to redeem it. If you’ve ever walked through a season of suffering, I pray my story will resonate and remind you that you're not alone.

You will find it here: https://revmarkcreech.org/from-my-heart-unanswered-questions-unwavering-faith/?fbclid=IwY2xjawJlDZ9leHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHvAa3ZISM41R4i3lfFw4Wv_6JGcKQGaVkBcHxHlNf_fMnGu-IaDXzYnUT3FL_aem_H-Y1yr9Ikf8drWRUXXW4xA

For those who have customarily posted my articles on your platform, as you well know, it has been a while since I've made a submission. I earnestly hope that we can revive our collaboration of ministry. You'll be seeing more of these, God willing, in the future.
