    Part 1 of a 3 part series on suffering.

    The Joy of Suffering I preceded this series by examining the false view that God guarantees us health, wealth and a carefree lifestyle. This was absolutely necessary for a number of obvious reasons. We are to uphold truth. The belief that our inheritance is in this life distorts the scriptures, ...read more

    How do we speak to our own hearts or to someone else who has suffered greatly, who, out of that suffering begins to doubt the nature of God?

    Last week we spoke about the nature of moral and natural evil as we try to make sense of life. If there is a good, all-powerful, all-knowing God who created the world, why does evil also exist? In review, Augustine defined evil as: The absence or deprivation of good…the effects of evil tend to ...read more
