Eric's thoughts

Alright, so I've already quoted this guy on an earlier post on our desire for a political savior, so now quoting him again may cause you to think that I have a man crush on him. That's okay, I guess (in some sort of weird way), because Voddie Baucham's answer to the question of "How can a powerful, loving God allow bad things to happen?" is so profound that I had to put it in my next post.

We all have asked it, been asked it, and thought about it. Some of us try not to think about it, or dodge the question all together. If God is so powerful and loving then why would he allow bad things to happen? And although his response is not complete, it leads us put things in proper perspective and gives us a better question to ask.

Check out his response at a "Desiring God" conference hosted by Jon Piper to a question that seems to trip us all up.

And by the way, I assure you that I do not have a man crush on him. Well, maybe a little one.
