Understanding the Question, "Why God?" ~ Message 19


Listen Later

  This message is about understanding why God does things the way he does and how he wants us to respond when our desires conflict with his.

   “Why God” is arguably the most frequent and fervent prayers that are offered up to God.  Why did you let this happen, why didn’t you stop that, why don’t you heal more, why don’t you bless our efforts more, why don’t you answer our prayers, the list is nearly endless.  From our point of view God could, and should fix a lot more than he does.  So why doesn’t he? 

Scripture References: Col. 1:9-10, Mt. 18:1-4, Proverbs 3:5-6
