I tell you the truth, no servant is greater than his master, nor is a messenger greater than the one who sent him. Now that you know these things, you will be blessed if you do them (John 13:16-17).
The faculty-student relationship at Regent University is a great privilege and joy. This week’s devotional is inspired by reflections from a graduating student who had endured a very difficult semester. We are blessed at Regent with students possessing great gifts of spiritual passion in combination with natural intelligence and abilities.

A Log in the Road
Dr. Gary Roberts

What is the purpose of pain and suffering in our lives?
This existential question is a foundational element of a religious worldview. Christianity posits that in God’s economy, none of our life experiences are “wasted.” There are no mindless or meaningless moments, even in the midst of the most profoundly troubling life events.

In 1946, George F. Kennan, a senior foreign service officer at the American Embassy in Moscow sent the so-called “Long Telegram” back to Washington. In the five cables which comprised the telegram, he speculated about how the United States should proceed in crafting its foreign policy toward the Soviet Union in the post-World War II era. These cables became the basis of the US foreign policy of containing the Soviet Union for, arguably, the next forty years.

For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat (2 Thes. 3:10).Work is central to God’s plan and purpose for humanity. From the beginning, man was given dominion over the earth with the responsibility of tending the Garden of Eden. After the fall, the scope and breadth of work expanded given God’s command that humanity must toil to produce food from the ground and craft goods to provide our basic necessities. Work assumed a redemptive

Recognizing and Combating Comparison Envy
Dr. Gary Roberts
Robertson School of Government
