Dr. John F. MacArthur, Jr. is heard throughout North America and around the world on Grace to You, an outstanding Bible-teaching outreach. The program is based on sermons from the pulpit of Grace Community Church in Panorama City, California.
As you look at today’s culturewith so much unrighteousness . . . so much conflict . . . so much thinking that is completely upside-downIt’s hard to believe . . . and maybe even harder to know how to respond to it all. What answers does the Bible have?

How would you describe the benefits of being a Christian? Is it that you’re a new creation . . . an adopted child of God . . . a co-heir with Jesus? Those are all wonderful privileges of the Christian life. But what about suffering for Christis there anything good in that?
