Refined, Not Ruined
The Furnace That Purifies but Does Not Destroy
A reflection on the trials God permits in the life of His people — not as ruin, but as refining. Drawing on Job, the silversmith of Malachi 3, Peter’s fiery trial, and the testimony of believers from Andrew Murray onward, this piece distinguishes between the affliction that destroys and the affliction that purifies, and calls the reader to trust the Refiner who sees in the silver the image He intends to bring forth.
