I have had doubts that God is all together good. I have been to one of the largest slums in the world. I have seen the suffering in the eyes of children and adults alike. Evil is allowed rampant in the world.
I have wondered "why is God doing nothing?" when children suffer, when tribes war, when bombs drop.
Recently I have come to the realization that, as a Christian, I am part of God's body. The church is the extension of God on this earth. It is not that God cannot act, or will not act, it is that his people will not care enough to act.
So the question becomes "why are we doing nothing?" and even "why am I doing nothing?"
We sit in our luxury, theorizing about God, justice, love; complaining about everything from the temperature of the t-bone to the corruption of the government of any given nation. We sit, we think, we complain when it is our responsibility to carry out God's promise to everyone.
I hope to continue in this vein at a later date. So, more to come, hopefully.
