If God is all-powerful and all-loving, why doesn't he do something about the pain and sorrow being experienced by the people he supposedly loves? How can he wipe hundreds of thousands of people out in earthquakes, tsunamis, floods and famines? Why doesn't he stop war, terrorism, and child abuse? Why doesn't he do something about the evil that lurks in the hearts of all of us? Well, he has.

Are Christians required to keep the seventh-day Sabbath? No. Mike Feazell explains that the Sabbath was a temporary law, designed (like various other old covenant laws) to point to Christ. Now that he has come, we do not need the pointer when we have the real thing. Just as the old covenant days reminded the Israelites of their salvation from Egypt, new covenant worship reminds us of Christ.

For many people, the gospel has strings attached: you can be saved by grace, but after that you have to work really hard. But the true gospel is that Christ died for all sins: past, present, and future. God is not keeping a record of how many wrong things you do. Does this mean that you can sin all you want? Yes. You always have, and always will. God wants to save you from your sins, and he has already sent Jesus to take care of the problem. The door to the palace is open - no charge, no fees. But are we willing to go in? Do we really want what God offers, or do we prefer the pointless existence we already have? And furthermore, what about people who never heard of Christ? Does God let himself be thwarted by our failure to reach them before they die?
