What is God shouting?

With the shooting at Discovery Middle School followed by more at UAH, you may be asking:
“Where are you, God, in all this?”

Allen’s lesson on February 21 confirmed your right to ask it. 
  1. Questioning is a form of struggling that helps you grow and mature.
  2. Questioning is one way you work out your faith.
  3. Questioning validates the existence of God. (You’re still asking Him the question, after all).
In the beginning, God created perfection. But man chose death rather than life

The only hope to solving the death problem (pain) was for God to enter our world to fix it. So Jesus did.

So what is God trying to tell you?
And as God’s mouthpieces, what should Christians be saying?
  • God: “I will be with you always.”
    Christian: “I’m here for you.”
  • God: “My grace is sufficient.”
    Christian: “I’m here to help.”
  • God: “Do not fear.”
    Christian: “We’ll get through this together.”
  • God: “Justice will prevail.”
    Christian: “Let me share my faith with you.”
Be watching for God with spiritual eyes.
Be working with God to perform gracious acts.
And be listening for God to hear what He's saying.
