“Why would a loving God allow His people to suffer?” This is a very common question – and frequent objection to the very idea of God. In this sermon, Vince takes a deep look at some of the intellectual components that drive this debate, but takes great care to explain that emotions and personal circumstances are extremely important in any conversation about suffering.
In this lesson, Vince established the need for all Christians to “be prepared to give an answer” to those who have questions about God, the gospel, and the many typical objections to Christianity. In addition, he makes the case that apologetics (from the Greek “apologia” – a defense) in the absence of evangelism is an exercise without merit.
