CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
It’s easy for us to see injustice in the world – even injustice in our own lives – and wonder where God is. I know quite a few agnostic or atheists who argue that no just God would allow bad things to happen to good people, but this construct that life is just is one that we created. The fact that injustices happen all around us is not an argument against the existence of God.

“If the Christian God had been so fragile as to be able to be argued out of existence based on injustice, the Christian God would have never made it out of the first century. Because for almost three hundred years the Christian God’s followers were persecuted. Christianity is not so fragile as maybe you think – “oh’ there’s pain and suffering in the world, there can’t be Jesus  / God”. How do you think Jesus / God survived the first century?” – Andy Stanley, “Who Needs God, In-Justice For All”

It’s been a long time since I had a crisis of faith or questioned the existence of God – there’s been far too much proof in the way He has influenced my life and helped move me from where I was to being closer to who He wants me to be. But I know there are those who do have bouts of doubt, there are those who question God’s existence when bad things happen in their lives or in the world around them – we must live as the Light, shining through the darkness that surrounds us. We focus a lot on ourselves and our immediate surroundings, but our calling – our responsibility – is to be a mirror that reflects Jesus to the world. We must take that responsibility seriously.

MOLESKIN:
Always a pleasure putting in work at the Cockpit. Praying for safe travels for Soulja Boy and for Passport to find a gig to help him towards his goal of missionary work.
