    Begins with my experience in an AIDS orphanage

    It was near Christmas, but it didn’t feel like it. In Cambodia there are two seasons. Hot and hotter. Christmas is just hot. I had led a study tour with fifteen over privileged Hong Kong students to a orphanage called Wat Opot, run by an American expat in his 60’s. It is difficult enough grasping ...read more

    Why Do Bad Things Happen To Good People?

    Contributed by Mark A. Barber on May 17, 2023
     | 2,462 views

    Is it true that the good die young? When the good person dies young, God has a better purpose for that person. The wicked do not realize that God may extend their lives on earth as a means for them to repent.

    When Bad Things Happen to Good People Isaiah 57:1-3 When I was young, I remember hearing a song by Billy Joel titled “Only the Good Die Young.” This song makes the statement that the Catholic girls “start much to late.” He is encouraging them to give up their virginity because “only the good die ...read more
