The
Problem of Evil
“God
whispers to us in our pleasures, speaks in our conscience, but shouts
in our pains. It is his megaphone to rouse a deaf world.” –C.
S. Lewis
“I
saw a young sister, just before this service; and I said to her,
"When did you find the Lord?" She replied, "It was
when I was very ill." Yes, it is often so; God makes us ill in
body that we may have time to think of Him, and turn to Him....What
would become of some people if they were always in good health, or if
they were always prospering? But tribulation is the black dog that
goes after the stray sheep, and barks them back to the Good Shepherd.
I thank God that there are such things as the visitations of
correction and of holy discipline, to preserve our spirit, and bring
us to Christ.” –Charles
Spurgeon
“The
Biblical world-view is the only one that accepts the reality of evil
and suffering while giving both the cause and the purpose, while
offering God-given strength and sustenance in the midst of it.”
–Ravi
Zacharias
Someone
once asked Billy Graham, "If Christianity is valid, why is there
so much evil in the world?" To this the famous preacher replied,
"With so much soap, why are there so many dirty people in the
world? Christianity, like soap, must be personally applied if it is
to make a difference in our lives." –Billy
Graham
