Is God love? I have heard this question asked so many times. How can God be love if people are suffering and dieing as they are today, in war, poverty, and disease? How can God let people starve to death in Africa, India, Asia, and yes America, small children even, if God is Love? Questions such as why does He allow rape, adultery, drugs, and murder to even exist? All legitimate questions i believe, and all rightfully deserve a biblical answer. Here it is, you ready? Remember you don't have to agree with me, you have every right to be wrong! HA HA HA.
God doesn't allow any of it we do!!!! He didn't invent murder - it was Cains choice; nor adultery - it was Davids decision. God never allowed a home to be broken - Eve did by disregarding Gods Word and listening to the Devil. Know that the "wages of sin=death", yet God gives life.
Still one may beg the question, "What about all those suffering with no food in Africa, and around the world?" The TV is full every Holiday season with commercials of pitiful children starving that rips even the coldest of souls heart out. (My opinion) Your money sent over their to feed the poor is a waste of time. Jesus said "the poor you have with you always" = never will the world be without starving people, children. The cure is Jesus alone. Put money in a trustworthy missionaries pocket and send them the gospel which is the Bread of Life. Only when they repent of sin and accept Jesus and not religion and tribal rituals will they be fed. If God can split the Red Sea (and he did), and tell the fish to get in Peters net on that side of the boat, more than he could drag in - doesn't it stand to reason he could cause enough fish to swim to their African shores and creeks to feed them all and more? Yes of course He can, and will if He alone is their God. Jeremiah said he never saw God children forsaken or His seed begging bread, meaning he will take care of them that are His own. Whenever a person comes by the church asking for grocery money or gas money rest assured they are lost. Elijah had no meat or bread and God sent a raven to feed him, and He promised to not give his children a stone that came begging bread - He will take care of you. Now if your lost it is by Gods grace your not already dead and in Hell. Sinner know he will not meet a lost mans physical needs as he does for his children, He died on Calvary to meet the spiritual need first - then he takes care of all the rest. So give them a meal - they will be hungry tomorrow, BUT give them the message of the Master and He will feed them all the days of their life. Lord give us this day our daily bread. Amen
