125. Why is Life Unfair?
There’s some major questions we have to answer about the unfairness in life. Why is life so unfair? Why do bad things happen to good people? Why is Michael Bay allowed to keep on making movies? Life seems unfair… a lot. Why does the lazy bum at work get to keep his job, while I [...]
October 18th, 2011126. When something bad happens, what’s something quick I can tell myself so I don’t freak out?
We of course know that God is in control, and we aren’t. And we know verses like Romans 8:28 where it says all things work together for good.
