    When Good Things Happen To Bad People Series

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jul 10, 2004
    based on 17 ratings
     | 6,144 views

    When unworthy people get good things, prayer helps us discover that we too do have good things, that the issue is not goods but our feelings, and that ultimately God is just and gracious.

How can we have so much of this life’s goods and pleasures, freedoms and privileges, resources and comforts, yet be so miserable? Perhaps we have too much. Bling ...read more

    Let’s look at what really happened on that day of resurrection. No single Gospel account gives us the full account of the resurrection, but if we look carefully at all of them then we might be able to harmonize the events of Resurrection Day. Let’s see

    A MONOLOGUE ON THE RESURRECTION OF JESUS CHRIST We call it Good Friday today. However, for the first followers of Jesus it was the darkest day they had ever experienced.
