Why?

I'm getting ready to lead a small group in my church.  We'll be discussing why God operates the way God does. 
  • Some folks believe that if they're good and keep their noses clean, nothing bad will happen to them.
  • Some folks believe everything happens for a reason.
  • Some folks believe hurricanes, earthquakes and other natural disasters are God's way of trying to get our attention.
  • Some folks believe that if they really please God, then God will make them rich beyond their wildest dreams.
  • Some folks believe that the reason God doesn't answer their prayers is because they're not good enough (neither the prayers nor the folks praying.)
Our class begins on Wednesday and lasts for five weeks.  I'll let you know what we come up with.
