Where Were You, God

Contributed by Les Buttolph on Sep 13, 2022

(9/11 was a day that shocked America. Despite the tragedy, God did not cause the catastrophe, nor was He indfferent to our suffering. He was there, helping us, suffering with us.

Today is a solemn day of remembrance of the day that’s become known as 9/11. A day when America, seemingly secure in the fact that no foreign enemy had attacked us on American soil since the War of 1812, when the White House was partially burned by the British.

Whose Fault Is It?

Contributed by Jerry Flury on Jan 19, 2010

Catastrophes happen. As Christians, we need to be careful when assessing the cause of tragedy. It is natural to ask, “Who or what is to blame when tragedy or disaster strikes?” Let us examine this issue.

Whose Fault Is It? Luke 13:1-5; John 9:1-3 When catastrophes or tragedies strike quite often we become like the disciples in John 9 when they met a man blind from birth. Their immediate reaction was that it was the judgment of God upon either this man or his parents. When the devastating ...read more

I mean the tribulations of Job that rock us to the very core of our faith. It’s so tempting to believe ...read more
