Andy Bannister explores if it is true in episode 23 of Short/Answers.”
“The Problem of Evil and Suffering in Las Vegas and Elsewhere”– Eternal Perspective Ministries“Words are sadly inadequate as a response to all the recent natural disasters, and this [past] week we had to face the added dimension of human evil in the Las Vegas murders. This isn’t the first time, and won’t be the last, that we who are Jesus-followers either ask or are asked by others, ‘How can a good and loving God allow such tragedies?’”
“We Packed and Went”– Enduring Word
“Luke traveled with Paul, indicated by the use of “we” in this sentence. In writing about this part of the trip Luke said something small, yet in my mind significant. He noted, “we packed.” This is noticeable because this was the end of a long journey, yet Luke never before noted that they packed.”
