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

Contributed by Richard A. Bradley on Mar 5, 2012

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

Sending Series

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jun 11, 2003

You wrap it up, you package it securely, and you trot off to the post office. She’s going to love this! Three days ...read more

Review Last week, we did something that probably stretched a few of you. It certainly stretched me. When God laid the impression upon me to do this, I was both apprehensive as well as excited.

Contributed by Michael Pasarilla on Nov 25, 2006

You Do Not Have To Sin, But If You Do, Just Ask For Forgiveness.

Contributed by Derrick Thompson, Sr. on Oct 23, 2013

Is sinning an option? The answer is no. The child of God is not to serve sin, because he is dead to sin, he has been crucified with Christ, and as a dead man is freed from sin. When the old man is crucified, death has occurred, and so sin has to stop.

Sustained By The Faithfulness Of God

Contributed by Austin W. Duncan on Sep 25, 2025
