[Alguém está em casa?]
SINOPSE: Sometimes when the storms of life strike with fury it can seem like God has turned on his answering machine and dozed off.We can doubt if he hears our prayers. Does God really know how bad we have it? We may think Hey, we're suffering down here - is there anybody up there?

[Um resultado surpreendente da aflição]
SINOPSE: Afflictions evidence to ourselves, and manifest to others, the reality of grace. When we suffer as Christians, exercise some measure of that patience and submission, and receive some measure of these supports and supplies, which the Gospel requires and promises to believers-we are more confirmed that we have not taken up with mere notions; and others may be convinced that we do not follow cunningly devised fables.

[Quando o conforto não conforta]
SINOPSE: Second Corinthians 1:3-4 proclaims that God comforts us in all our troubles and then instructs us to comfort others.  Receiving comfort from our brothers and sisters should be a source of great encouragement to us however, many of us have had just the opposite experience.  Words intended by our brothers and sisters in Christ to strengthen us, haven't encouraged us at all, instead, our burden has increased.

[Quando o conforto não conforta]
SINOPSE: Ss we look for God's comfort out of a genuine love for our Savior, we can expect it to be more than enough to meet the need. With genuine comfort, be comforted and praise the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort.

[Não é por maldade que o Senhor leva seu filho]
SINOPSE: It was not wicked for the Lord to take our son. The Lord does not delight in wickedness or evil, his Word tells us in Psalm 5:4. His Word in Psalm 89:14 tells us that his throne is actually built on a foundation of righteousness and justice. I think this is how we can grieve well, when we long to take care and hold our son, to remember God's foundation of righteousness in all that he does as we grieve in a world of sin and death. Somehow, in the death of our son, God will show us a greater picture of his goodness. Somehow, for our good, this is going to make us look more like his Son, Jesus.

SINOPSE: If God was truly good, wouldn't life also be good? But it isn't, is it? No. Instead, a loved one dies. A marriage crumbles in divorce. The words, "You have cancer," echo in a heart. And we're left to wonder, Can we see the plans or purposes of God in allowing suffering to come into our lives, turning our worlds upside down?

[Este é um daqueles dias...]
SINOPSE: Today, it was just one of them days…You know?  One of those no-good, awful, terrible, rotten days where I rejoice that God loves me with an enduring love, that He is powerfully FOR me in the circumstances I face, that He is my constant supporter and very present help in the time of trouble, that He teaches me through the good and bad times, and that He saves me to live life abundant and free!

[Até que a morte ou o mal de Alzheimer nos separe]
SINOPSE: "I know it sounds cruel, but if he's going to do something, he should divorce her. He is right, she is gone; it is like a walking death." This response ignited a wildfire of media attention as Christians and medical professionals who care for and work with Alzheimer patients spoke up against this cold and dismissive ethical stance. s it justifiable for a person leave their spouse if they have Alzheimer's? Surely not!"

[Um dos propósitos de Deus no sofrimento]
SINOPSE: So I guess this is something we ought to keep in mind during those times that it is God's will for us to suffer. Our suffering is not pointless; it is not meaningless. At least in part, our suffering is mandated by God so we can strengthen and edify our brothers and sisters in Christ so that they, and we, may strive toward Christian maturity.

[Quando a vida não é justa]
SINOPSE: Chances are you could easily share examples of when life has treated you unfairly. On one level, we know that none of us are "good" in God's sight, so every day is an act of mercy. But we instinctively expect, or at least long for, a semblance of justice in this world.

[Como ajudar uma menina de cinco anos de idade no luto pela morte repentina do pai?]
SINOPSE: There is no pastoral handbook for this one.  Yet, when my dear friend and deacon in my church was killed in a car crash 3 months ago, his wife and 2 young children were left shocked and full of questions.  This includes his really smart and spunky 5-year-old daughter, who I met with on Monday.  Grief is a good thing and all who have experienced this kind of loss needs to grieve.  However, how do you help a 5-year-old girl experience grief that is good and helpful?
For starters, you can't approach a winsome 5-year-old like an adult.  Just because I am the pastor, doesn't mean this little girl trusts me enough to speak with me.  She trusts and speaks to me for 2 reasons only:  She knows I loved her daddy, and she is my buddy.  That is it.  Under this premise, here is what we talked about on Monday.

[Algumas reflexões sobre o ministério com doentes e pacientes terminais]
SINOPSE: I am no expert in ministering to people in suffering. It is a privilege to be with the sick and dying, but it can also be scary, hard work. I have great respect for chaplains, calling pastors, solo pastors, and other believers who spend a lot of their time comforting the sick and suffering with the gospel. As you minister to the sick and dying-and we all will have opportunity to do so-here are some things to keep in mind.

[Aborto involuntário: uma morte na família]
SINOPSE: ... "He said little, but his presence shouted, 'We love you.' Initially, we found, the simplest expressions of basic truths bring the most healing. We still remembered people saying, 'Even now, God loves you…He will be faithful to you…We love you very much.''' >>pdf: http://goo.gl/5g1e6

[Os amigos de verdade são confiáveis]
SINOPSE: Forget social networking! How many real friends do you have? Sometimes it's the fiery trials that reveal the real person.  Anybody can handle life well when circumstances are going well and things are happening the way you want them to happen.  But what happens when the circumstances you are facing are not going so well and the very thing you want to happen is not happening?

[Carta a uma mãe que pensa em abortar seu filho portador de desordem genética]
SINOPSE: A letter from one mother to another who just found out her baby in the womb has ARPKD, a rare genetic disorder of the kidneys that has no cure.

[Onde está Deus? Aconselhamento na doença e morte]
SINOPSE: You step off the elevator as nurses pushing beds and doctors reading clipboards whiz by. Then you find the room around the corner, quietly greet the nurse as she exits, and find your church member in her hospital bed staring out the window into the grey skies  "I'm glad you're here, pastor," she tells you, "but where's God?"

SINOPSE: God is doing His transforming work in the person you are caring for and He also transforms.

[Ajudando o ferido]
SINOPSE: Most people like to help others and that is a good thing, because we are surrounded by hurting people every day. They may be in your small group or Bible study, over your backyard fence or someone you meet in line at the store. What do we say, and how should we respond when a person entrusts us with things that are important to them? How can we help them in a meaningful way? I am addressing this because I have seen and experienced the rather painful results of the responses of well-meaning people who think they are helping a hurting person.

[Não fale sequer uma palavra]
SINOPSE: As a teacher and counselor people come to me with burdens and woes of life. It can be as serious as an impending divorce, a prodigal child, or a diagnosis of cancer. There are times when there are no words that can be spoken, for the gravity of the situation goes beyond our language. In those times we fumble around, thinking we ought to say something...we reach into our Bible bag and mentally search for the perfect verse to comfort or console. We try to offer hope for a positive outcome or a better tomorrow for the one who suffers and when we put forth our effort it seems to fall flat. The eyes of the wounded one gaze upon us, filled with anguish and we wish we would have remained silent. Take a lesson from Job's three friends- at least at the beginning of their visit with Job.
