    Why Bad Things Happen To Good People Series

    Contributed by Jeffrey Cox on Jan 13, 2004
    based on 18 ratings
     | 9,269 views

    So why do bad things happen to good people? They don’t; it’s as simple as that. Good things (eternal life) happen only to good people (born-again believers); and bad things (eternal punishment) only happen to bad people (sinners).

    Do we have the right to complain? I. One of the main everyday sins we all commit is addressed in Philippians 2:14 “Do all things without grumbling and complaining.” A. This is based on the assumption that we deserve more than we are getting; that this bad thing shouldn’t be happening to us ...read more

    based on 7 ratings
     | 3,413 views

    Remember, in the eyes of average people, average is always considered outstanding. Jesus however said, Greater things we will do & that’s a vast difference from "average things.." Let’s examine His words together!

    Introduction "Greater Things." Sound a little suspicious? Just turn on the TV and it gives us enough to be suspicious about. Just today I listened to an Evangelist say, "Just name it and claim it.." I’m leary of that kind of preaching! However, it can’t be ignored that Jesus Himself said as He ...read more

    Introduction Want answers just ask a teen, they know everything. Well almost everything. Everyone has their limitations. Even God? Well, Yes and No. I don’t want anyone to get the impression that I believe that our God is incapable of anything, He is the God of the IMPOSSIBLE. However, I have ...read more

    When unworthy people get good things, prayer helps us discover that we too do have good things, that the issue is not goods but our feelings, and that ultimately God is just and gracious.

    There is, indeed, very little justice in the world. But that’s very old news. We established that last week. Last week we talked about that age-old problem of what you do what bad things happen to good people. We thought about how, when good people get into tough times, it just feels as though ...read more

    In a world of injustice, it is appropriate to pray a prayer of anguish; God gives us memories of His grace to sustain when He seems absent, and may force us to rock bottom so that we can heal fully.

    There is very little justice in the world. But that’s old news. People have felt from time immemorial that they were not being treated fairly. Just about everybody thinks that they deserve a better deal than they’re getting. There is very little justice in the world. But that’s old news. Now ...read more

    There is more to gluttony than eating too much. It is a statement to God that you don’t trust God to take care of the future. You have to get all you can today because you aren’t sure of tomorrow.
