The Truth Will Set You Free




Why Do Bad Things Happen to Good People: Part 6


So, why do bad things happen to good people?
We've allowed the world to be a place where bad things happen.  
God is the one who has empowered us to change it.  The enemy comes to kill, steal, and destroy.  So, if you hold to the “Sovereignty Myth” you will, at some point, have to believe God is the enemy.  That somehow he killed,  stole, or destroyed something in your life because it was his will.  

But Josh the Lord gives and he takes away.  Haven't you heard that song before?  
Actually I have heard the song and though it is catchy it's not one that I will be singing any time soon.  In fact one of my best friends wrote a great response to this idea, HERE.  You should check it out.

I’m not going to get into a long list of bible verses on this one.  Either this seed will grow or you are not ready for it.  Every bible verse is read with a lens.  If you have some nagging verse in your mind, try to view it through this lens and see if it fits better.

My doctrine is not about using your brain to figure out God.  It is about allowing the Holy Spirit to reveal truth to you.  So ask him.  If you are able to hear from the Spirit, he will guide you in all truth.  This truth has set me free.  It has set me free from:

-          theological separation with God
-          blaming God for “allowing things to happen”
-          misunderstanding Jesus’s authority as a man
-          being robbed of my authority as a man
-          apathy as the body of Christ

Follow peace on this subject.
