GOOD VS EVIL PT 3

BY: STEVEN GONZALES

The perspective dilemma deals with man’s inability to see things in the same context that God does. This dilemma is the crux of God’s retort to Job’s complaints in the Book of Job. Since the Garden of Eden, man has sought to be God with respect to possessing all knowledge. That was never God’s purpose for man. God’s purpose for man was to simply know him and thus, worship him and depend upon him for everything – including knowledge. God never designed man to be another God; despite what the Mormon’s teach. In this article of “Good and Evil” we’ll explore more about how to help others, and ourselves to reason this out with both believers and unbelievers alike.

GOOD VS EVIL PT 2

When addressing the topic of good and evil as it relates to the Sovereignty of God, we’ve begun to develop the gist of the objection. It’s really a perspective issue – man will simply never ever see things the way God sees them. This is why it’s so critical for us to know the character of God; both as revealed in His Word, and equally as important, as He reveals Himself in our walk.

GOOD VS EVIL

BY: STEVEN GONZALES

Why does a good God allow evil? This first of several articles sets the stage by inviting you to see things from God’s perspective. Rather than approaching the problem of evil through human reasoning or emotion, it emphasizes viewing Scripture and life’s challenges through the lens of God’s wisdom, character, and eternal plan. This foundation prepares us for the deeper discussions that follow in the series.

GOOD ACCORDING TO WHO?

“But I’m a good person. Why would God send me to hell?”

Have you ever found yourself attempting to answer this question? This week we explore "what is good" according to the scriptures and how to apply that to our everyday life, conversations, and even our questions.

DEFENSE OF THE FAITH

BY: STEVEN GONZALES

Why does God endorse slavery? Why did God create Satan? Why does God allow such evil in this world? Why does a loving God send people to hell? Why do Christians think they have the only true religion? The Bible was just a book written by men, why do Christians think it’s the Word of God? The Bible is full of errors, who can trust it?

Have you ever been challenged with these questions and struggled to answer them? We are so excited to introduce the first of many articles by our friend and brother in Christ, Steven Gonzales. Our prayer is that these articles bring clarity to your understanding of scripture, equip you in conversation about the Gospel, and empower you in boldness for Jesus.
