Afflictions Try the Christian

By Francis Roberts

The storm tries the building, and discovers which is built upon the rock and which upon the sands. The storm tries the pilot. The touchstone tries the metal whether it be gold or copper. The furnace tries the gold whether it be pure or dross. So afflictions and persecutions try the Christian.—Francis Roberts.
