Why do bad things happen to good people? Shouldn’t God be stopping them?

I preached on this topic in a sermon titled ‘In the World, trials and sorrows; In Jesus, peace’ when I realised that I had been asked this question more times than I can remember and yet my response has always been the same.

John 13-16 is the last long conversation Jesus had with His disciples before His crucifixion, and we draw from the end of chapter 16 to find His answer to the question of suffering. Listen to my sermon if you would like to know what I believe to be the answer by clicking on the play button below.

Hi there

I’ve uploaded some new Sermons along with a few Articles which were published in Joy! Magazine. Please have a listen or a read, and as always your comments are welcome.

SERMONS:

LUKE 15 ‘Lost and Found’ The Prodigal son, the lost sheep and the missing coin are a trio of Jesus’ parables. I realise these are well known and loved verses, but I would like you to listen to them with new ears – you may hear something you’ve not heard before if you listen to the sermon and, of course, the Holy Spirit.

LUKE 17 ‘Thank you Jesus’ Remember the good Samaritan? This sermon will give you insight into the background and true meaning of this story. We find that we are all united in Jesus, no matter what our differences, customs or races. This has been the case since Biblical times and still is today, among believers from all ‘walks’ of life.

EPHESIANS 1 ‘Who are We in Christ’ My apologies for the poor sound quality of this sermon. The first few seconds are very bad but it get’s better, really! Ephesians 1 7-19 is the wonderful prayer of Paul to the Church in Ephesus and also to US. Ask yourself ‘How well do I know God?” and “Who am I in Christ?” and listen to this message.

ARTICLES:

WHAT IS TRUTH is an article I wrote in 2006. If you haven’t been paying too much attention to my ongoing talks and posts about truth 🙂 then this short article should fill you in on my understanding of the nature of truth.

APOLOGETICS. Apologetics is the branch of Christian studies that deals with why we believe what we do. I dislike the word because it comes from the same root as ‘apologise’, which means essentially to defend something we feel guilty or embarrassed about. “Hey, I know this might sound foolish, but let me tell you why I believe in God… or the creation… or the Gospel”. This article challenges the very nature of apologetics.

A CONSIDERATION OF FRANK VIOLA’S ‘BEYOND EVANGELICAL’ is not a book review. I have written several book reviews, but this not one of them. In this article I am considering ‘Beyond Evangelical’, not reviewing it. My purpose is to reflect on some of the things written in this book from a positive perspective and leave the evaluation and critique to others.
