God Of The Bible

Contributed by Pastor Renji George on Jul 24, 2024

The Question Evil Can’t Answer

Contributed by David Dunn on Dec 29, 2025

Evil remains a mystery, but the cross reveals God’s character. He enters human suffering, bears its weight, and assures us that love—not evil—has the final word.

There are certain questions that do not arise from curiosity, but from collision. They are not born in classrooms or debates, but in moments when life presses hard against the soul and refuses to explain itself. These questions surface when loss interrupts routine, when suffering enters without ...read more
