Why

This day is drawing to a close and I have decided to share the thoughts of an author, teacher, and pastor that I greatly respect. Dr. Emerson Eggerichs, author of Love and Respect and The 4 Wills of God, recently wrote a blog post entitled, “Did God Cause the Coronavirus, Suffering, and Death?” Drawing on the experiences of godly men of the Bible – Job, Joseph, Paul, Jesus – Eggerichs approaches the question, “Why do bad things happen to good people?” and sympathizes with the writer of Ecclesiastes who struggled with injustice and futility.

If we come to the conclusion that God does not cause painful circumstances, we come face to face with the question, “Why did he allow it?” Eggerichs addresses in this writing why Texas Governor Greg Abbott suffered an accident that left him paralyzed. He also points out that it is good to ask these questions and to be able to spend time discussing them with our children or friends who are wondering.

I was especially assured by what the Bible says GOD DOES CAUSE. I hope you’ll have the time to read this thoughtful article:

Did God Cause the Coronavirus, Suffering, and Death?
