From My Heart, Out Of My Mind

If you have some time…

I preached this last Sundayon the age old question of how can there be a God when there is so much suffering in the world. My message was a restatement of Peter Kreeft’s thoughts on this.

The Bible teaches four things that relate to this topic: 1)God exists; 2)God is all-powerful: 3)God is good; 4)Evil exists. All are true at the same time and in the same relationship. The I move on to give 8 clues as to how the Bible wants us to address these four propositions. They are clues only. God can put them together in a way that transcends our minds.

If you desire to listen, then go here. If you want my notes, email me at donbryant@hotmail.com and I will send them to you.

Today’s Quote 4/24/07 from my son’s IM response

Posted by Don Bryant on April 24, 2007

I don’t know what in this world is trying to save me
But I can feel its hand and it’s guiding me in sign
From lives I’ve tried to lead
To the one that I received

No more college tuition bills!!!!

Yep, that’s right, folks. It’s done. But it isn’t about me. This is Ben’s time. He graduates this coming Sunday, April 29, from the University of Pittsburgh with a major in Material Science Engineering and a double minor in physics and philosophy. But Ben being Ben, the experience he is really looking forward to this weekend is the NFL draft all day Saturday.

We are working with my older son, Jon, to see if he can fly out from Chicago to Ben’s graduation. It would be great to be together. Hope it works out. Three years ago we were going out to Golden, CO to attend Jon’s graduation at the Colorado School of Mines, help pack him up and bring him home.

It’s been quite a ride, sons. Well done.

Ben’s next step is to move out to Santa Barbara, CA to do PhD work at UC in material sciences. Classes start in late Sept but he hopes to move out there in August.
