Our Sunday School class started this week with comments about the devastation from the earthquake in Haiti. One of the mothers said her son asked, “Is God mad at them?” She wasn’t sure how to answer him. I did my best to present her with an answer. I briefly explained the fall of mankind in Adam, the fall of creation, the entrance of death into the world, our inherited sin nature, and God’s hatred of sin. I said it wasn’t only those in Haiti that were sinners, we were too. I know it wasn’t a completely developed answer but I hoped it gave her some basics. Today, though, I read an article (linked below) by Jim Elliff that I believe is very helpful. If we have questions ourselves or maybe want to spark a conversation, use it as a tool. Through it the Lord may grant new understanding or even new life.
