Crisis of faith...

I attended a church where the preacher thought the Bible was the actual inspired word of God.

He thought God’s grace was enough for whatever came up.

And then a bomb fell on his house and family.

(Not a real bomb, that might have be easier to explain.)

I know he knows God is still enough, but God appears to be standing by, waiting to see what the major players in this situation do.

I have some experience with this. I remember thinking a bolt of lightning might have been useful, if only God had decided to use it.

So the story goes on, slowly, without closure…pain is resurrected and recreated. And the people that are trusted with the next step seem to be doing nothing...to help.
