Feckless

"I will fear no evil, for you are with me." --Psalm 23

God is everywhere. Yet he is non-corporeal--not made of atoms nor any form of energy we know of. Thus, bullets from AK47s and deadly shock waves and shrapnel from bomb blasts just go through him unimpeded and kill our children and teens and men and women instead.

Evil fears not a feckless god.

Planned

Over a hundred are dead in Paris after attacks in six separate sites.

This is what Pastor Rick Warren has to say: "God decided when you would be born and how long you would live. He planned the days of your life in advance, choosing the exact time of your birth and death." (The Purpose Driven Life, Zondervan, 2002, p.23)

In short, God masterminded the Paris murders and every fatal assault on every single person over the entire history of humanity. And every fatal disease, heart attack, stroke, car and plane crash--God's behind all those too.

"All-good" truly is a mystery.
