“We live,” an anonymous 50-something evangelical protestant wrote recently, “in an imperfect world where good and bad things happen to everyone no matter who they are.”
Not only that, he said, “we cannot control the decisions others make that may bring trouble to us; for instance, the drunk driver who causes a fatal accident or the employer who makes bad financial decisions and, to make up for his loss, some employees lose their jobs.”
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, the German poet, author and statesman, is credited with saying that Christianity, although scattered abroad, “will in the end gather itself together at the foot of the cross.”
