Where is God? {wrap up}

 

The joy and freedom that come through Christ give great hope to believers. Yet while we walk out our journey on earth, we must daily deal with sin and brokenness. In this series we faced the pain head on, and asked Where is God?

Our team tackled topics that in some cases are rarely discussed in a Christian context:

• Ali showed how God is present when we suffer from physical pain.
• Poverty is a serious problem that affects every nation in the world. Lisa asked Where is God in Poverty?
• Lindsey shared from her experience of multiple losses in her post Where is God in a Miscarriage?
• Do you parent a child with special needs? Caroline gave her perspective on God’s work in her family as she and her husband raise their special needs son.
• In her post Through the Fire, guest Susan Van Volkenburgh shared the story of her crisis of faith after her father was killed in the terrorist attacks on 9/11.
• I wrestled with the complex and sometimes divisive issue of mental illness.

Woven throughout all of our musings was this profound truth: God is present in the midst of our suffering. He never leaves us nor forsakes us (Deuteronomy 31:6). Thank you Lord!
