Perplexed by the Problem of Evil

Summary

Elder Michael Goans preaches from the book of Habakkuk, addressing the problem of evil and the apparent inactivity of God amid widespread sin and suffering. He explains Habakkuk's struggle with understanding how a good and sovereign God permits evil, emphasizing the prophet's sensitivity to sin and his journey from perplexity to faith. The sermon encourages believers to mourn over sin and societal decline rather than adopt atheism or apathy, highlighting the importance of persistent faith and prayer despite unanswered questions. Goans relates Habakkuk's experience to modern challenges, urging the church to seek revival and remain faithful.
