Evil and Prayer

This (see link below) is one of the best sermons I have heard in quite awhile on the problem of evil and prayer. I heard it this afternoon as I went to the Y as this was their latest sermon. Everyday I go to the Y and listen to a different sermon from one of 5 churches I regularly podcast. The timing of God's word and this message in particular was profound.

This question (the problem of why evil) has been a big one for many I have come in contact with this week in a variety of settings .
Its a question I have read on wrestled with and written on quite a bit.
Its a question that is profoundly human to ask (and ok to wrestle with) especially in times of deep difficulty, injustice, hurting or death.

SO as we journey together (especially our season of lent) I am reminded of these lyrics and the hope found in the resurrection:

This is my Father’s world. O let me ne’er forget
That though the wrong seems oft so strong, God is the ruler yet.
This is my Father’s world: the battle is not done:
Jesus Who died shall be satisfied,
And earth and Heav’n be one.


LISTEN TO THIS SERMON: "keep on pushing"
