My Trauma Is Not My Template | Sunday Message (Guest Pastor Levi Lusko)

It's one of the most common objections to Christianity: Why does God allow evil if He's so loving? In this throwback message, Pastor Greg Laurie addresses this difficult question, and helps us see why the problem of evil shouldn't shake our faith in God.

Why Does God Allow Evil?

Wouldn’t it be a remarkable world if everyone tried to out-give one another? If we saw someone in need, we automatically took care of it. We were always looking for ways to help. But we don’t live in a culture of givers, it seems like we live in a culture of takers. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie helps us see how a spirit of generosity is part of the prescription for living a more meaningful life. We’re considering the Apostle Paul’s counsel about living in a way that honors God.
