As a Christian, many times I am faced with difficult questions from non-believers. I am a person who needs time to think things through, and it can be very difficult coming up with an answer. One such question that seems to come up frequently is 'If there is a God, how can he let such bad things in the world happen?' Here is an interesting answer to that very question.
Billy Graham's daughter was interviewed on the Early Show and Jane Clayson asked her 'How could God let something like this happen?' (regarding Katrina) Anne Graham gave an extremely profound and insightful response. She said, 'I believe God is deeply saddened by this, just as we are, but for years we've been telling God to get out of our schools, to get out of our government and to get out of our lives. And being the gentleman He is, I believe He has calmly backed out. How can we expect God to give us His blessing and His protection if we demand He leave us alone?'
An interesting thought for the day.
