The Problem of Good

Most people have thought about The Problem of Evil. If you have not it is simply this:
1. Evil exists, thus God is...
2. Loving, but not powerful enough to stop evil, thus, he is not omnipotent, or...
3. He is all powerful, but is not loving, so he doesn't stop evil, thus, he is just plain mean.
Either way, the problem of evil says that God is either weak, or evil himself, but he can't be both all loving and all powerful. Who wants to worship that God?

Thankfully the Bible sees evil as a problem, but not in the way most people do who use it as an excuse to not worship God.

But consider this: Have you ever considered the "Problem of Good"? Most people have not. Randy Alcorn helps us understand this problem. Click over and read about it.
