Do you think the people killed
in Hurricanes Katrina and Rita were worse sinners than the rest of us in
the United States? If you think they were being punished, then you should
read Luke 13:1-5.
Jesus asked a similiar question regarding
some people killed by Pilate and others who were killed when a tower fell
on them. His answer was, "I tell you no! But unless you repent, you too
will perish."
Perhaps you wonder, as Job's
wife did, why God allows suffering even upon the innocent.
Lenny Cacchio exhorts us to consider beyond
the why in Sparrows Fall From
Heaven, even though our Heavenly Father is aware of their falling.
In Don't
Blame God for Bad Things, Lenny reminds us not to blame God for such
things as hurricanes.
In this month's issue, we examine the struggle
to understand why God allows such suffering to occur. And encourage you
to Look Up at the Heavens for an
answer.
