From Titus on Mission-
Evil in the world. Suffering among the poor, the drought-stricken and famine-stricken. Agony among people on whom is inflicted excruciating death. Betrayals on personal, social and global scales. Gratuitous cruelty in families and neighborhoods. Outrageous grabs by the powerful who disenfranchise, oppress and impoverish the less powerful.
We see all this around us – locally, regionally, globally. The headlines need no recitation. There you have it – evil.
In this world-scape, human-scape, suffering-scape people often ask – in puzzlement, despair or rage – ‘Where is God in all this?! Where are you, God – that is, if you even exist?!’ And when they’re calmer and more analytical, many conclude, ‘Look at all this! Obviously God doesn’t exist, or if God exists God doesn’t care!’
