    “He was pierced for our transgressions, He was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that bought us peace was upon Him, and by His wounds we are healed.” Isaiah 53:5.

    Introduction: The Gospel means the good news of the grace of God. It revolves around one unique historical event: the sacrificial death of Jesus Christ on the Cross. The Gospel is almost too good to be true as it does not depend on anything we do but on what Christ has done and by that “one ...read more

    Does God Ordain/Allow Evil And Suffering?

    Within the church, there is a belief that everything is under the direct sovereign control of God, therefore He ordains what satan and his minions do.

    It is also believed that when people get sick or suffer horrible tragedies, it is the will of God because He "allowed/ordained" it. God is the Holy and transcendent one. He is sovereign, omniscient, omnipotent, omnipresent and omnibenevolent. He knows all things past, present, and ...read more

    Are we able to defend the faith taught in the Scriptures when a non-believer challenges us on the hard issues? What do we say, how do we respond when asked why the Lord allows evil and the resulting suffering?

     | 4,253 views

    This psalm is classed as a wisdom psalm the subject of which is the prosperity of the wicked, as contemplated by the righteous; that is to say, why do the wicked prosper, while the righteous are poor and afflicted?
