    What To Do When Bad Things Happen To God's People

    based on 19 ratings
     | 16,705 views

    God's people often ask "Why has this happened to me?" However, God is not so much interested in why as "what." In this fallen world we cannot prevent bad things from happening. What we do in response to them is another question.

    WHEN BAD THINGS HAPPEN TO GOD’S PEOPLE? Acts 16:25-34 25 But at midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were listening to them. 26 Suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken; and immediately all the ...read more

    Christmas is a glorious time when experiencing the blessings of God and all is well, but, what about those who are suffering the loss of a loved one or a broken relationship or a prolonged illness. Henry Wadsworth Longfellow explores this in his poem.
