Fr. Mike examines the relationship between the Church and non-Christian religions. He discusses that while there is some degree of goodness and truth in every religion, the fullness of truth exists in the Catholic Church. Fr. Mike concludes with a reflection on the statement from the early Church Fathers that “outside the Church there is no salvation.” Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 839-848. This episode has been found to be in conformity with the Catechism by the Institute on the Catechism, under the Subcommittee on the Catechism, USCCB. For the complete reading plan, visit ascensionpress.com/ciy Please note: The Catechism of the Catholic Church contains adult themes that may not be suitable for children - parental discretion is advised.

Today, Mike and Tim are joined by A.J. Swoboda to discuss his journey in theology, the concept of 'Slow Theology', and the challenges of being teachable in a culture that often shames humility. He explores the tension between emotivism and the life of the mind, emphasizing the importance of learning from diverse perspectives, including those we may disagree with. Swoboda advocates for creating space for differences and encourages Christians to embrace a posture of learning and humility in their faith journey. Further, Mike and A.J. explore the complexities of engaging with culture as Christians, emphasizing the importance of understanding and contextualizing the gospel. They discuss the challenges of navigating truth in a hostile environment, the necessity of self-critique within the faith community, and the vulnerability that comes with learning. A.J. shares a personal story about a moment of realization regarding his lack of knowledge, using it as a metaphor for deeper issues of shame and growth in faith.  Chapters 00:00 Introduction 11:30 A.J.

Paul moved from doctrine to practice, from the truth to its application in daily living. In order to encourage his readers to turn away from their false teachers Paul reminded them of their union with Christ. He also urged them to continue living in keeping with their position in Christ. Chapter three begins the practical division of the book of Colossians. Paul now moves to the positive. Not only does the death of Christ relate to the believer but so does the resurrection of Christ. The one relates to our salvation in the past; the other relates to our future. Not only is the Christian to relinquish his pre-death life but he is to seek the post-resurrection life of Christ. Jesus liberated us from legalism. We have new privileges in Christ. Chapter three launches our responsibility to live up to our privilege.             Chapter 3 follows chapter 2. In chapter 2 he talked about those things which are below. He's thinking about those things that are on the earth, and he defined those things which are on the earth. And then he goes into chapter 3 and says, “But if you be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above.”   Our passage is really a hinge passage.  In the first half of Colossians, we have four chapters and we're moving our way into the second half now, in the first half as Paul tends to do in many of his letters, he is making many revealing statements of theological truth.  This includes statements where he is saying things like here is who Christ is.  That's one category of these revealing statements, here is who Christ is.  He is the image of the invisible God, He is the firstborn of all creation, by Him all things were created, He is before all things and in Him all things hold together, and He is the head of the body, the church.  So, it's here who Christ is.  Then there are these statements of here is who you are, Christian.  You were formerly alienated and engaged in evil deeds, but “now you have been redeemed and forgiven and reconciled, now you have been rescued from that domain of darkness (Colossians 1:13) and transferred into the kingdom of His beloved Son.”  So, it's here who Christ is; here is who you are, believer.  Then category three; has been and here is who they are, meaning the false teachers.  Those would be the ones who would seek to take you captive through philosophy and empty deception.  Those would be the ones who would seek to act as your judge in regard to food or drink or festivals or new moons or Sabbath days.  Those would be the ones who would seek to defraud you of your prize by delighting in self-abasement and the worship of angels.  Those would be the ones who would take their stand on visions that they say they have seen and who are inflated without cause in their fleshly mind.  And those would be the ones who promote self-made religion (Colossians 2:23), self-abasement and severe treatment of the body, which he says, “are of no value against fleshly indulgence.”    But in Colossians 3, Paul is moving away from this is who Christ is and this is who you are, and this is who they are type of statements, he's moving away from these revealing statements to giving us more commands.  Now he is going to do so in Colossians 3 and 4 and be no less theological and no less doctrinal, but the words here in Colossians 3 and 4, that we're going to cover in the future have more of a finger in your chest, step on your toes, this is what you have to do now tone to them.            In verses 1 and 2, he is going to highlight events that happened at a fixed point in the past.  “You have been raised up with Christ,” he says.  Then in verse 3 he is going to use a different verb tense, one that has more present-day ramifications.  “For you have died and your life is hidden with Christ in God.”  In verse 4 he is going to get into yet another verb tense, one that is more futuristic in its orientation when he says, “When Christ who is our life is revealed, then you also will be revealed with Him in glory.”  So, as we survey this section of inspired Scripture what we're going to witness is Paul not only slowly transitioning from giving more commands than mere statements.  Layered on top of that we're going to see him make these statements that pull in from the past, that point to the present and also highlight the future.  It's a magnificent section of Scripture.  No wonder H. C. G. Moule, the old Anglican bishop, said this.  He said, “It is one of the golden paragraphs of the whole Bible” "If then you were raised with Christ" OR therefore since We could translate "If" as "Since" (first class condition in Greek). It introduces another "in Christ" position that Paul assumed to be true for the sake of his argument and which is indeed true (cf. 2:20). Paul returned to his thought about the believer's union with Christ in His death, burial, and resurrection (2:9-15).           That God has already raised us with Christ, is an assumed fact. It is a fact that God has raised us with Christ (Eph 2:5,6). God sees better than we do but he expects us to see what he has done in Christ with the eye of faith. This has nothing to do with our feelings. We cannot taste, feel or smell positional truth. Our position in Christ is infallible, unalterable, eternal and exalted. God said it and our faith lays hold of it. All God wants is for us to lay hold of our privilege by faith. Our present resurrection with Christ is one of many expressions of our position in Christ. Positional truth cannot change. It is something we have forever with Christ. God provides our position with Christ. He establishes this position forever entirely apart from merit at the moment of our salvation. We can draw power daily from this resource. PRINCIPLE: God expects us to live the Christian life on the declared fact of our resurrection with Christ.                    Two present commands identify the Christian's responsibilities: "keep seeking" (v. 1) and "set your minds on" (v. 2). Since God raised us with Christ, and we are already as good as seated with Him in heaven, we should keep seeking heavenly things. Keep looking up (cf. Heb. 12:12:1-2) "seek those things which are above" is translated as Keep Seeking "Seek" is the first of many commands in the remaining practical section of Colossians. "Seek" means to pursue, search for, endeavor to obtain, desire to possess. If a legalist were writing this he would write "Don't ...." but Paul writes "Seek..." God wants us to apply our eternal privileges to time. Make those privileges our scope of daily living. Center our lives on the ascended and glorified Christ. "'Seek' (zeteite) implies here not an investigation but an effort to obtain.       We are to travel in this world as we walk through our lives, but instead is a reference to the direction that our gaze should be going, as those whose citizenship (Philippians 3:20) is in heaven, as those whose inheritance (I Peter 1:4) is reserved in heaven and as those who (as Hebrews 11:16 says) are awaiting a heavenly country.           What you seek is what your ambition is. Your ambition is to seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness. (Matthew 6:33) The devil doesn't care what on earth you may seek, as long as you do not seek those things which are above.        The next verses explain how to go about seeking things above. Non-Christians are earth-bound, secular, materialists. They operate in a world of taste, see and feel. They spend all their time trying to keep body and soul together. That is life to them. They do not know that there is more to life than that. For the Christian, his life is Christ (v.4). This is far more than existence. When we center our lives on Christ, life takes on a purpose, a life worth living.           The Bible is the mind of God reduced to writing. We have what we need for the Christian life in writing. We have the Holy Spirit to help us dig it out.            God wants us to rest on what Christ has done, not on what we do. Everything we have before God is because we have been incorporated in Christ at our salvation. The Christian experience must relate to our position in Christ. "where Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God" Jesus is seated at "the right hand of God." This is the completeness of our position. Our status quo before God in Christ is already finished in God's eyes. Our position is complete in the mind of God. "The description of Christ as 'seated at the right hand of God' is another implied response to those who were seeking to diminish Christ's role as mediator, inasmuch as the right hand of God is a metaphor for the place of supreme privilege and divine authority."5 Colossians 3:2 "Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth." "Set your mind on things above"           The Christian's second responsibility it to continually set his or her mind on the things above (the things of heaven; i.e., our spiritual blessings and hope, our Savior's desires, etc.) rather than on the things that are only physical and temporal. They should occupy a large place in our thought lives.        Paul turns to a stronger term than "seek" of verse one -- "Set your mind." "Set your mind" places stress on the whole bent of life while "seek" emphasizes the pursuit of more concrete goals.     "You must not only seek heaven; you must also think heaven." 1 lightfoot            From now on the Christian will see everything in the light and against the background of eternity. He will no longer live as if this world was all that mattered; he will see this world against the background of the larger world of eternity. … He will, for instance, set giving above getting, serving above ruling, forgiving above avenging. The Christian will see things, not as they appear to men, but as they appear to God."2             "The Christian has to keep his feet upon the earth, but his head in the heavens. He must be heavenly- minded here on earth and so help to make earth like heaven."3            The two commands differ in that the first emphasizes the more practical pursuits of life whereas the second stresses the whole bent of the life. The first is outward and the second is inward.         Intellectual brilliance, advanced education, or unusual physical strength are not required for a Christian to become great in God's estimation. What He requires is faithful perseverance in the basics of the Christian life. Any Christian can do this since we all have the help of the Lord Himself.           If the Christian is to survive in spiritual war, his mind must focus on eternal things (2 Cor. 4:18 So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.   "Seek" in verse one implies striving; Set your mind implies concentration. "Mind" includes understanding, attitude and the will. It means to employ one's faculty for thoughtful planning, with emphasis upon the underlying attitude -- to have an attitude, to think in a particular manner as in the attitude that Christ Jesus had (Phil. 2.5).            "Christ's sitting at God's right hand is the exercise of all the majesty and the power of deity according to his human nature."2 "That is a place, heaven itself, where a glorified Man, Himself God the Son, is seated, His work of salvation finished."3     This word also means to keep on giving serious consideration to something -- to ponder, to let one's mind dwell on, to keep thinking about, to fix one's attention on as here -- "Let your mind dwell on the things which are above." God wants us to love "things above." The Greek emphasizes "things above." "Things above" are the things which are ultimately essential, belonging to God. He wants our desire to orient around them.    Our greatest need is to think about God's divine operating assets which he has provided for us. God wants us to think about Christ and what he has done for us. We need to think about our union or position with him eternally. "not on things on the earth" "Things on the earth" is set in contrast to "things above." These are moral things, not physical things. This is not Gnostic contempt for material things. Paul is not pushing spiritual escapism such as becoming a monk or hiding from everyday life. Rather, our Christianity operates within the framework of everyday life whether in work or marriage. God created physical things for our enjoyment (Ps. 24).           Philippians 3:19-20 contrasts those who "mind earthly things" with those whose citizenship is in heaven. PRINCIPLE: God does not want us to focus on the trivial but on the eternal. APPLICATION: Most of the things we think about are materialistic. It is not wrong to think about material things as long as material things do not become ultimate importance in our hearts. We must make a living; we must shop for groceries. God expects us to become productive members of the human race.   Our problem is we think about material things exclusively. If we are earthbound, we will be miserable. We will have a worm's eye view of life instead of a bird's eye view. Materialism is so insidious that we succumb to it without realizing it. If we are honest, there is none of us who are not susceptible to it. We are forced to admit that "I do have materialistic tendencies." We do not need faith when we deal in material things. We taste, feel, see and touch material things but faith takes us into another arena. Faith takes us into a spiritual stratosphere. There we can see things we could not see with a material viewpoint. Faith is the spiritual telescope that brings the things of God afar off near to our soul. We can, therefore, see things we could not otherwise see. Faith puts reality on intangible things. Eternal things are real but they are only real to those who have faith to see them. It was written of Moses, "By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king; for he endured as seeing Him who is invisible" (Heb. 11:27). God calls upon us to think about eternal things. He wants us to be heavenly-minded. However, we are not to be so heavenly minded that we are no earthly good. Most of us are so earthly minded that we are no heavenly good.    Mark 8:36 "For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul?              John 14:6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. Have you trusted Him as your Savior? He can Save you if You ask Him based on His death, burial, and resurrection for your sins. Believe in Him for forgiveness of your sins today.               “And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”  -John 8:32             Our mission is to spread the gospel and to go to the least of these with the life-changing message of Jesus Christ; We reach out to those the World has forgotten.              hisloveministries.podbean.com #HLMSocial hisloveministries.net https://www.instagram.com/hisloveministries1/?hl=en His Love Ministries on Itunes Don't go for all the gusto you can get, go for all the God (Jesus Christ) you can get.

How can Christians ensure that they are maturing in Christ? In our passage, Paul reproves the Corinthians for their immaturity and points them to God's truth.

Have you ever wondered about the fate of those who don't profess faith in Jesus? Can a loving and merciful God condemn billions of people to eternal torment? How do we reconcile these questions with the heart of the gospel?In this message, we dive into one of the most challenging questions for Christians in our ongoing series, "Wrestling with Doubt, Finding Faith." Together, we explore the different perspectives Christians have taken over the centuries—Christian Exclusivism, Universalism, and Inclusivism—while reflecting on what scripture, tradition, reason, and experience can teach us about the nature of God's love, mercy, and justice.This message isn't about pushing a single viewpoint; it's about equipping you to reflect deeply, wrestle honestly with doubts, and grow in your understanding of faith. Come with your questions, your curiosity, and an open heart as we engage in meaningful dialogue about salvation, God's character, and the call to share our faith.Speaker: Pastor Mark ReynoldsVenue: First United Methodist Church (Cocoa Beach, FL)Don't forget to subscribe and hit the notification bell so you never miss an update.

Most Christians would likely agree that Jesus and the Gospels provide us with guidance for how we should be living our lives. People of non-Christian faith traditions, or those with no religious belief at all, might have a somewhat different response...but our guest today, Dr. Amy-Jill Levine, is here to talk about how non-Christians can find value in Jesus and the Gospels, and why they should take another look at the New Testament!

Now that we've established the historical facts, all that remains is to determine what best explains them. The explanation offered by Jesus' disciples was that Jesus was raised from the dead. Non-Christians, atheists, and anti-supernaturalists do not want to accept that explanation, so they have proposed a great number of alternative, non-miraculous explanations. I'll examine those alternative theories over the next two episodes. In this episode I examine the theft hypothesis, the switcheroo hypothesis, the apparent death theory, the hallucination theory, the wrong tomb theory, and the copycat of pagan mythology theory. Web: ThinkingtoBelieve.comEmail: ThinkingToBelieve@gmail.comFacebook: facebook.com/thinkingtobelieveTwitter & Gettr: @thinking2believTruth: @ThinkingToBelieve

Sermon Notes: Together . . . in Power! Ephesians 5:18-6:20  Theme for 2024: Together  Theme for August 2024: Together!  EPHESIANS: This letter was written by Paul from prison in Rome to the church in Ephesus and was intended to be a circular letter for all of the churches in the region. It offers a panoramic view of God's plan to “bring unity to all things in heaven and on earth under Christ” (1:10). The letter is filled with praise for the Messiah and revelation (mystery) about God's miraculous work through Him. Thus, Ephesians is known for its High Christology.  Ephesians is also marked by its High Ecclesiology. Paul points his readers to the truths about the identity and realities of the Church that God intended. This new creation (the Church) is the new Temple where heaven and earth converge and the new humanity, comprised of both Jews and Gentiles reside. God is now present in this new creation and on display through this new humanity. He will display His wisdom to the heavenly powers and blanket the earth with His glory and knowledge through the Church (Ephesians 2-3).  The Church is uniquely equipped for this grand task to live circumspect lives amidst their neighbors as testimonies to what God is doing. He will equip the Church through the presence and power of His Spirit to fulfill this role to His glory (Ephesians 5-6).  Satan will not take all of this lying down! He will oppose the work of God on every hand. Consequently, we must be clothed with power from on High to live as the Messiah's people in every arena of our lives!  Remarkably, the union of heaven and earth, the miracle of the new humanity is to actually be on display in our homes! We are to reflect the glory of God in and through our marriages. God created the institution of marriage (Genesis 1-2). He uses the imagery of marriage to convey His relationship with Israel in the Old Testament. Every Christian marriage is intended to be a reflection of the relationship that Christ has with His Church. “Tinker with it at your own peril” (N.T. Wright).   Christians are to be marked by mutual submission as one sign of being filled with the Spirit (Ephesians 5:18-21).  A Christian home is characterized by an appropriate level of order and clarity. Marriage is a heaven/earth partnership between a man and a woman, each participating in the partnership willingly and lovingly as unto Christ. Men and women are different, uniquely designed by God (Genesis 1:26-28) and both created in His image. Marriage is not just a partnership intended for mutual fulfillment (though this does happen), it is intended to be a reflection of the mystery of the union of Christ and His Church! Non-Christians should gaze at Christian marriages with wonder, curiosity, and amazement!

Always hold out hope to grieving families. Salvation rests in the person and work of Christ alone, who is both abounding in mercy and able to bring sinners to Himself at any moment and in any circumstance.This Postmodern Realities episode is a conversation with JOURNAL author Matt Kennedy about his online article,  entitled, “Non-Christians, Death, and Comforting the Bereaved“.  https://www.equip.org/articles/non-christians-death-and-comforting-the-bereaved/Other similar recent articles and podcasts by this author:Episode 391 Who May Come To The Lord's Table—Eucharistic Welcome And Warning“Who May Come To The Lord's Table—Eucharistic Welcome And Warning.“Episode 368 Christian Parenting and the Peril of Public School Education“Christian Parenting and the Peril of Public School Education ”Episode 355 Is Re-Baptism Biblical?“Should Christians Be Rebaptized?”Episode 306 Marriage Is about the Gospel: Clarifying the Boundaries of Christian OrthodoxyMarriage is about the Gospel: Clarifying the Boundaries of Christian Orthodoxy

It is common among Non-Christians and far too many Christians to believe that Jesus somehow just accepted everyone without question, that he never had a harsh word to say about anyone, their beliefs, or their behaviors, and that his only message was for folks to just be happy and be nice.Jesus told us in scripture that many would say unto Him Lord, Lord, and proclaim how many wonderful works they did in His name and He would tell them depart from me you workers of iniquity, I never knew you.   

What is the best apologetics argument for Christianity? In this episode, we explore the powerful case for the Christian worldview through the lens of "The Impossibility of the Contrary." Discover why Christianity provides the necessary foundation for logic, science, and morality, and how these key elements of our understanding of reality presuppose the truth of the Christian faith. Key Points Discussed: How Christianity offers the only coherent foundation for making sense of the world. Why the laws of logic require a biblical foundation to be meaningful and consistent. How scientific principles presuppose a universe created and sustained by God. How objective moral values point to the existence of a holy and righteous God. Why This Matters: Strengthen Your Faith. Enhance Your Apologetics. Engage with Non-Christians. Be prepared to articulate why Christianity is not just one option among many but the essential foundation for understanding reality. This episode will equip you with a vital tool for defending and proclaiming the truth of Christianity. By understanding and employing this argument, you can engage more effectively with both believers and skeptics, showing how the Christian worldview uniquely answers life's most profound questions.

The Christian life is like a glass of chocolate milk!  The fact that so few Christians know why, is the reason multitudes are NOT accepting Christ.  Non-Christians don't see something in us that COMPELS them to want what we have.  Think about it: Do non-believers want what YOU have? Do YOU even want what you have? When you wake up in the middle of the night, gripped by fear, is that what non-believers want?  Is that what YOU want?  If you answered “No” to any of those questions, you need to understand how the Christian life is like a glass of chocolate milk. #faith #worldview Brightmedia.org twitter.com/GodIsTheIssue GOD, Who Are You Anyway?  by Bill Bright, with Brad Bright brightmedia.org/resources Time Stamps:   00:02 – 01:10 Why don't people want what Christians have?  01:43 – 02:40 Why the Rock sank 03:04 – 03:48  Why isn't the Christian life working?  03:50 – 05:01 Chocolate Milk and the Holy Spirit 05:10 – 05:44 Do you struggle with this?  06:44 – 07:33 Problem at Wheaton College   07:34 – 08:06 Cru staff and chocolate milk 08:26 – 09:01 Bill Bright wasn't always that way 09:01 – 09:55 Peter, Bill Bright and you

A Course in Miracles is for the working person, one who is willing to step outside of the "conditioned mind." For the "non Christian" person, it may have a deeper appeal. A Course in Miracles is Universal Knowledge that tells us what is True, forever, regardless of our "religious upbringing." ACIM establishes beyond a shadow of a doubt, our Self-Identity as our Source created me. We all have an "ego self" that is not so connected to our Source, and therefore our identification is with our "problems" —fear, guilt, anger, judgments, insecurities, doubts, regrets, etc. When we Identify with our Higher Self as our Source created us to be, our life changes into one free of these problems. We notice our real Identity is Love, Peace and JOY! We replace our hell we made up with the Heaven our SOURCE created. We are in the present, now, engaged in this Heaven. What could be better? A Course in Miracles and Rebirthing can take us there. Why not go in this direction?

Christians - ever have a non-Christian try to explain the Bible to you? In this message Pastor Newland shares insights from Scripture on some things non-Christians try to explain away.

Many modern Christians think Christians are inherently more moral than non-believers. Non-Christians, as a rule, don't think so. What about in the ancient world? Why is it that the most widely attested view among ancient pagans was the opposite, that Christians were dangerously immoral reprobates? Why weren't they seen as stalwart proponents of family values?

One of the most troubling ideas Christians wrestle with is what happens to non-Christians after death. The idea that God would send all non-Christians to hell is difficult to reconcile with the words and actions of Jesus. In this sermon, Pastor Mark explores what the Bible says and how we can trust in God's goodness and mercy.

Is Christianity Good For Non-Christians? Yes? No? Maybe?Through the lens of Jesus' words in Matt 5:13-16, we will explore how Jesus answers this question. The answer might surprise you...

In 2 Corinthians 6:14, Paul wrote, “Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers.” Does this mean Christian singles should not date someone who doesn't share their faith? What if the "significant other" is a Christian but not an Apostolic Pentecostal? Dr. David K. Bernard discusses how Paul's statement applies to Christian singles who are considering marriage and who want to honor God in their choice of a spouse.If you enjoy this podcast, leave a five-star rating and a review on iTunes or your preferred podcast platform.

Hey, Neighbor, we're recording on Superbowl Sunday... not to be confused with Tuesdays with Taylor... (By the way, are you the Master of your own Sea?) Then: Not only do Christians like to identify as "Sinners," but we like to sanitize the behavior of the Unbelievers. We want to give them the benefit of the doubt--even though they are Lost. Later: We tried to raise Luke's bloodpressure with the story of a grumpy patient complaining about her stay at the hospital. But he is pretty unflappable. Do you know what the medical community does with particularly uncooperative patients? Finally: Let's talk about the idol of People Pleasing. What IS the difference between having a "servant's heart" and being a people-pleaser? Contact the comedian's family: nextdoor@johnbranyan.com

Check out week two of Anything Goes!

“1. Resilience. Keeping going even when things are looking dark. 2. Empathy. The capacity to connect imaginatively with the sufferings and unique experiences of another person. 3. Patience. We should grow calmer and more forgiving by getting more realistic about how things actually tend to go. 4. Sacrifice. We won't ever manage to raise a family, love someone else or save the planet if we don't keep up with the art of sacrifice. 5. Politeness. Politeness is very linked to tolerance, the capacity to live alongside people whom one will never agree with, but at the same time, can't avoid. 6. Humour. Like anger, humour springs from disappointment, but it's disappointment optimally channelled. 7. Self-Awareness. To know oneself is to try not to blame others for one's troubles and moods; to have a sense of what's going on inside oneself, and what actually belongs to the world. 8. Forgiveness. It's recognising that living with others isn't possible without excusing errors. 9. Hope. Pessimism isn't necessarily deep, nor optimism shallow. 10. Confidence. Confidence isn't arrogance, it's based on a constant awareness of how short life is and how little we ultimately lose from risking everything.” -Alain de Botton, a Swiss philosopher. These all apply to Non-Christians (the faith based ones and the secular ones.) Non-Christians are not “pure evil” and not “pure hell.” --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/antonio-myers4/support

Sometimes in the church we make talking to people about Christ and Christianity more complicated or difficult than it needs to be. Sure, it can be hard. We don't always have the answers we think we need to have. But talking about Christianity in our culture seems to be getting…easier.

When bad things happen to us, oftentimes, the first person we blame is God. Non-Christians in our lives may even wonder, “Why would God let this happen to them? Aren’t they Christians?” As Pastor JD teaches us today, God sometimes allows tragedies to happen to us to correct us and bring us back to Him.
