How many Christians have been disciplined by the Lord?

Just a thought here! God may have to chasten us to allow us to see what our blessings that we have experienced in life, that are truly His gift to us, regardless what it was or is? Maybe the reason why our goods (stuff), or loved ones, might be taken away from us, and could be a lack of appreciating those things. And could be, for that very reason! Is that we did not appreciate these things, Jobs, car, clothing, health, or persons in our life. We just expected it to be all there, all the time as spoiled little children, that has never had any discipline in their life, and one that takes everything for granite! No appreciation, or consideration towards others, but for their own selfish desires. Therefore our very own Freedom will flee from us! Before we realize it's importance? If you would bare with me a second, to tell this story? "One winter morning I was walking through a blizzard to my office and complaining silently about the storm. When I stepped inside my office my eyes fell on a tiny book in my library, entitled "Come Wind Come Weather". Immediately my grumbling ceased, for the book I saw upon entering that warm room, is the story of the persecution of the church in China. Our storms here are few. Thank God for what we die for and that is our Freedom!

In the Book of 1Cor.11: 32..."But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world" 2nd.Cor.6: 9..."As unknown, and yet well known; as dying, and behold, we live; as chastened, and not killed;" Hebrews 12: 5..."And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto children, My son, despise not thou the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when thou art rebuked of him:" And lastly Rev.3: 19..."As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent". Hard Love is a hard thing to face, and without the Love of God in your soul, A hard one to get over, because Mankind loves throwing the blame to or on other's. A must read for any and all followers of Christ is to read the book (Fox's Book of Martyr's) God speed to ya.

Life is all about being disciplined. Nobody escapes without scars of some kind (even non-Christians). The key is to learn from adversity.

Every christian is disciplined and condemned on a weekly basis. Its not a bad thing. Its a learning experience. God doesnt ever physically hurt you or anything. You just have to understand where he is coming from. God is always right.

If we don't learn a lesson when disciplined by the Lord, then God keeps sending us around that mountain until we do. Forty years Israel walked around that mountain.

Many times, yes.

It's called refining fire!

When things get stripped away!

Painful? -

Yes!

but it produces a harvest of righteousness.

God has discipliened me a few times. Not very enjoyful

if christians do not want to fall into temptations then not only they should accept the ethical and moral wisdom of christ(peace be upon him)they should also try to accept the truth of ISLAM in their lives through the quran and the sunnah.they should stop disrespecting prophet mohammed(peace be upon him),stop maligning islamic faith and develop the respect for islam through quran and the sunnah.they should also attain faith IN ONE TRUE GOD WHO HAS NO PARTNER,NOR ANY RIVAL FOR HIMSELF AND SHOULD REPENT FROM THE FALSE NOTIONS OF TRINITY,DIVINITY OF JESUS CHRIST(PPEACE BE UPON HIM),GOD BEGOTTING A SON AND CRUCIFIXION OF JESUS CHRIST(PEACE BE UPON HIM).MAY ALLAH GUIDE YOU TO THE STRAIGHT PATH OF ISLAM WHICH IS WITHOUT ANY CROOKEDNESS.

Sounds painful. Sign me up. <not>
