    Why Bad Things Happen To Good People Series

    Contributed by Jeffrey Cox on Jan 13, 2004
    based on 18 ratings
     | 9,483 views

    So why do bad things happen to good people? They don’t; it’s as simple as that. Good things (eternal life) happen only to good people (born-again believers); and bad things (eternal punishment) only happen to bad people (sinners).

    Do we have the right to complain? I. One of the main everyday sins we all commit is addressed in Philippians 2:14 “Do all things without grumbling and complaining.” A. This is based on the assumption that we deserve more than we are getting; that this bad thing shouldn’t be happening to us ...read more

    Rewritten for Calverton Baptist Church, Silver Spring, MD: When terrible things happen, pray honestly, in complaint; remember what God has done in the past; and know that He may be forcing us to see how much we need Him.

    I was in my office at Takoma Park church, and, as so often happened, someone stopped by to ask for help. The story was very much like most of the stories I had heard.
