We should thank God that He is genuinely and wisely good to us as His children.

God is good, all the time! We readily affirm this to be true whenever good things happen to us, but what about when our circumstances aren’t so good? Is God still good?

A short sermon for a funeral service. I wrote this talk for the funeral of a Christian person.
