When Do We Sing "How Great Thou Art"?
“When Do We Sing ""How Great Thou Art""?” Habakkuk 3:17-19
Coming out of the Great Depression in 1931 was the song “Life is just a Bowl of Cherries.” One contemporary writer responded to that description f life by asking, “If life is just a bowl of cherries, why am I always in the pits?” We know that life can be very difficult and painful at times. Is God only with us in the “good” times of life? In fact, isn""t the reality of His presence often felt more in times of pain and suffering? Along that theme, Pastor Jim asks the question this morning, “When do we sing ""How Great Thou Art?""” Sermon Outline:I. The Problem of Evil Stated by the World
II. The “Problem” of Evil Seen through Spiritual Eyes
III. The Path to Take During Our Times of Testing and Fighting With Evil
