Doubts about God
Posted on February 5, 2010 by Pastor Tom
This past week in the Edmonton area we saw another family tragedy. Two young boys are now dead because of an apparent domestic dispute.

When things like this happen, questions often arise about God. Where was God when this was happening?
Doubts about God can have a philosophical origin. (Does God exist?) They can arise because of circumstances like this tragedy in our city or in our own lives. (Is God for us). They can come from a bad experience with a Christian or church. Our enemy (the devil) loves to seed doubt about our Loving God. So what can we do?
When doubts about God come to me, I go to the One I’m doubting. I ask Him for His help, His wisdom and His understanding. I ask Him to bring people across my path who can help me. If you’re doubting Him today, turn to Him. And pray for that family.

“Doubt is natural within faith. It comes because of our human weakness and frailty…Unbelief is the decision to live your life as if there is no God. It is a deliberate decision to reject Jesus Christ and all that he stands for. But doubt is something quite different. Doubt arises within the context the faith. It is a wistful longing to be sure of the things in which we trust. But it is not and need not be a problem.” – Alistair McGrath
