If God Loves Us, Why Do Bad Things Happen?

Hope and Joy: Bedtime Bible Meditations for Children

The deepest belief that we Christians hold is that God IS love and that God loves us and the whole world. Today, on World Refugee Day, we are asking The Rev. Austin Rios to help us think about the difficult question“If God loves us, why do bad things happen?”

Rev. Austin is the Rector of St. Paul’s Within the Walls and Executive Director of the Joel Nafuma Refugee Center in Rome, Italy. Along with his wife Maleah and daughter Aja, Austin enjoys celebrating the wonders of creation and learning how to encourage all the children of God to better love one another.
