1 | Why do bads happen to Christians? | Ps 12:5 | wpalmer | 237064 | ||
Thank you for this wonderful answer and the detail. I accepted Christ as my savior less than a year ago (am 58 years old) and have since become very active in my church. Am going on a mission trip for two weeks (Nicaragua) the end of May and have been asked to give a talk one night...on any subject of my choosing. Looking back at all my years of being, at best, an agnostic, it was the misery, death, war, disease and hatred that so permeates the world that always made me ask "where is God?". Better yet, my Christian friends wanted me to accept as my savior a 'person' I could neither see, touch or feel (at least in my imperfect reasoning). So now that I'm on the other side of the fence and wanting badly to reach all those, like myself, that kept his heart closed to God's glory, I want to be prepared to witness, to be prepared for those same difficult questions. Even as a Christian there is so much I don't know and so much I know I'll never understand. But I want to learn how to respond to these big questions. I can certainly explain why I finally opened my heart but am eager to do so. But for those hardened against God, they want more practical answers so I am looking for help. Any thoughts? Wade | ||||||

Hi, Wade... If you have the time before your trip, how about getting a book like "How to Read the Bible for All Its Worth" by Gordon Fee and Douglas Stuart. It is an inexpensive book in paperback, and easy to read. It will help you enormously in properly exegeting the Scriptures. It will be a useful reference for a long time to come. I am certain that it will give you some ideas for training others to read the Word. We'll be praying for you! In Him, Doc PS I just passed my 21,000th day of life. So I'm right there around your age! |

Had to get my calculator out for that one and, yes, we must be very close in age...apparently I'm a bit older as am approaching my 21,500 day (darn!). I will take your suggestion and get the book "How to Read the Bible for All Its Worth" and do some homework. Really appreciate your time and help!! God bless! Wade | ||||||
