Harvest: Greg Laurie Audio

After a tragedy, lots of people are quick to question God—how could He allow such things? Yet we know from Scripture that He’s loving, merciful, and good… so how does that work? Pastor Greg Laurie responds to our question of why God allows suffering. Notes: Focus verse: Job 1 From the day we are born life is filled with troubles.Job 5:7   More people point to the problem of evil and suffering as their reason for not believing in God than any other. God doesn't become "good" just because that's my opinion of Him.God is good because He says He is! God’s thoughts are above our thoughts. Mankind was not created evil, but perfect. Man has the ability to choose right or wrong. Humanity, not God, is responsible for sin. If Adam had not sinned, we would never die or get sick.

Job was a man of integrity.He was blessed by Go
