Why God Permits Suffering

One of the most difficult issues for Christians is to personally understand and to communicate to others why a good, loving God allows suffering. This is a huge stumbling block for many people. There is no denying the truth that suffering impacts both the believer and non-believer, and learning what Scripture says about suffering is a key to us enduring it. God is not on trial when we suffer, but it is helpful to learn that there is divine purpose in our temporary pain. This episode of Truth Shots brings context to us for those times when suffering pierces our lives.
