    The terrorist attack in Bali came a week before I was to preach on the subject of murder, and a National Day of Mourning was declared for that Sunday. God does work in mysterious ways...

In view of the events of the last week today’s passage seems to be the most appropriate in the Bible. The bombing in Bali ...read more
