Have you ever asked yourself why bad things happen to Christians?

Why do those who have rejected the world, and been saved by Christ, not only continue to suffer the same aches, pains and ailments as everyone else, but at times bear additional suffering for no other reason than proclaiming the name of Jesus as our Lord and Savior?

To top it off, when Christian’s suffer, why does God heal, seem to spare and rescue some – but not others?

How in light of these things how can we have a faith that is strong, yet flexible, and trustworthy under trial? How can we forge a faith that never fails?

These are questions we are going to consider as we study through these passages in Acts 12:1-17
