Tribulation Engenders Patience
Posted by
That is that St. Paul means in saying “Tribulation engenders patience; And from patience comes proof.”
To help His faithful in tribulations the Lord has promised; This they truly feel when in patience they stand, sustained by His hand, something by their strength they could not do. Patience then is proof to the saints that God truly gives the help He promised, when there is need of it. By it also their hope is strengthened, because it would be gross ingratitude not to expect that, for the future, God’s truth will be as firm and unchangeable as it has already proved to be.
—John Calvin, “The Piety of John Calvin” Ford Lewis Battle, ed. pp. 88

Death is Not Dying
Rachel Barkey (nee Sawer) went home to her Lord on July 2, 2009 at 37 years of age. Rachel is survived by her husband Neil and her children Quinn and Kate, parents Ben and Cathy Sawer, brother David (Johanna) Sawer and sister Andrea Sawer.
But for Rachel the essence of life was found in her relationship with God through Jesus. And that's why Rachel was convinced that death is not dying.
