Flash Forward

This Sunday I am continuing the series "Where is God in Evil?" and will be using Job 42:1-6, Acts 17:22-28, and John 13:34-35 as the scripture. As last week I wanted to help set the context by talking about theodicy and defining evil, this week I want to explore what God's sovereignty and God's providence might mean. How we understand these concepts has important implications for our understanding of theodicy? We will look at J. L. Mackie's argument that states that based on assessing the evidence of both nature and history, we must either conclude that God is all-powerful but not good, or good but not all-powerful.
