Hamas releases four hostages, but what about the others? Circumstances cannot change God’s character: Is this a good thing?

Hamas released four female Israeli soldiers on Saturday under the Gaza ceasefire deal. As part of the agreement, Israel freed two hundred Palestinian prisoners. The soldiers were handed over to the International Committee of the Red Cross before meeting Israeli forces who transported them into Israel. According to Israeli officials, eighty-nine hostages—both living and dead—remain in Gaza. How must the remaining hostages feel this morning? Can God truly be all-good, all-powerful, and all-knowledgeable while allowing such suffering in the world?About Denison Forum and The Daily ArticleToday's Daily Article was written by Dr. Jim Denison and narrated by Chris Elkins.
