Last updated on: April 21, 2014 at 9:50 pm By Jim Erwin

1 Peter 2:18-25 Christ-Like Influence Stress and suffering are not the same thing. Recent events have taught me that there is a difference between stress and suffering. We can put ourselves so easily into stressful situations. The Bible teaches that we should not let stress bother us. “Don’t worry about anything, but in everything, through prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God.” (Philippians 4:6, HCSB) We should not let worry which manifests itself as stress...
