Natural disasters, disease, terrorist attacks, criminal activity, injustice - why does God allow these things to happen? Why doesn't God intervene and do something about the evil experienced daily? What does it mean for God to be all good? Rich gets philosophical but breaks down why this problem is often so difficult to accept and understand. Steve states that God is sovereign and overall, having the ability to do whatever He wants but He also has the ability to allow man's choices to play themselves out. 2 Peter 3:9 tells us that God does not wish for any to perish but that all would reach repentance. God wants to be in relationship with those He created. This is an episode you may want to take notes on and come back to again later. There is a lot packed in and Rich and Steve will continue the discussion on the problem of evil next week.
