Where’s the Love of God in This Dark World?
On most evenings, I turn on the evening news. I want to see the the lead stories, to see if there was anything big in the world I missed while my nose was buried in crafting Bible studies. Inevitably, I’m bombarded with violence … another shooting … another looming health crisis … another round of… Continue reading Where’s the Love of God in This Dark World?

ARE WE APPLAUDING LUKEWARM CHURCHES?
Without preaching Christ crucified and the need for repentance, the glitter of this pastor’s presentations are but cheap imitations.

C. S. Lewis articulated the erroneous conclusion many people come to: “If God were good, He would wish to make His creatures perfectly happy, and if God were almighty He would be able to do what He wished. But the creatures are not happy. Therefore, God lacks either goodness, or power, or both.” Put another… Continue reading If Jesus Triumphed Over Sin and Death, Why Does Our World Still Contain So Much Evil and Suffering? – Blog – Eternal Perspective Ministries
