I wonder how many people there feel the same way? I wonder how many are questioning the love and grace of God? I wonder if they feel abandoned by Him? A friend of mine’s uncle is a missionary in Sri Lanka and one of the preachers there that had been trained by my friends uncle lost his entire family except for his wife and all the members of his congregation. He said he will never preach again because he cannot preach about a God who would allow this to happen.
The death toll continues to rise…Where’s the church?
Swaminathan, 30, sobbed and clung tightly to his 6-year-old daughter Madhivadhani after burying her mother Mahalakshmi, 27, and little brother, Rahul, 4, in a mass grave in Thazanguda, India, after they were killed by Sunday’s tsunami waves.
