In my last blog, I talked about the NYC Muslim terrorist attack with a pickup truck. Since then we've had yet another act of madness and evil, the church shooting in Texas. This is horror with an added twist - it was perpetrated against a church, against God's people. Even the poor pastor has lost his 14 year old daughter. I can just hear people asking, "Why did God allow this?" Skeptics or atheists might even say, "This proves there's no all-powerful and all-good God. If such a God existed, He would never allow this to happen to His people, would He?" Well-meaning Christians may even be trying to come up with explanations as to why God would have allowed this hateful act. Maybe there's some secret divine plan that we'll all understand someday in heaven? To that sort of thinking, I say one word - baloney! Don't blame God for this - He had nothing to do with it!
