How Am I Going to Be an Optimist about This?
Is the refrain from Bastille's popular song also the refrain of Christians? When the world crumbles around us, in the midst of our guilt and our worry, sometimes our number one concern is "how am I going to be an optimist about this?" After all, if we'll just close our eyes, doesn't it feel like nothing's all that wrong?
God, Evil, & Suffering
Why does God allow evil and suffering? This is a fundamentally human question that still nags us today. So we are a lot like Job. While God does not give us His actual reasons for allowing evil and suffering, He does graciously show us who He is. in essence, He invites us to trust Him.
