YOU ARE LOVED & FORGIVEN HOW CAN WE BELIEVE IN A GOOD GOD IN AN EVIL WORLD LIKE THIS? HOW CAN WE EXPLAIN EVIL IF GOD IS ALL- LOVING? EITHER HE KNOWS ABOUT IT AND DOESN'T CARE, OR HE CARES AND CAN'T DO ANYTHING. The questions haven't changed. Christians from the first century to the present have been assaulted by the world's philosophies and their own doubts. Paul's powerful response to the beleaguered Colossian church-and to Christians today - is the New Testament letter to the Colossians. He confronts faith-shaking negatives with assuring positives. You need to -- to whom you belong and what He has done for you, -- about the power available to you, -- that you are loved and forgiven by the God who rules over people, powers and perplexing philosophies. This helpful exposition of the letter to the Colossians with down-to-earth examples brings Paul's letter into clear focus for contemporary Christians who wrestle with questions of their identity and self-worth. IF GOD IS ALL-POWERFUL, WHY DOESN'T HE INTERVENE TO BANISH SIN, SUFFERING AND EVIL?
