Dallas/FT Worth, TC--A dangerous rift has opened up between society and
the Christian church--a moral friction between the Bible's message and
the current culture's sense of right and wrong. Questions about God
that used to center around His existence are now aimed at His morality.
How moral is the God who permits diseases and natural disasters that
kill innocent people or the God who allows brutal dictators to rule
with an iron fist? At best this God is aloof and uncaring. At worst He
is primitive and cruel.
Many in this contemporary culture have concluded that we are actually
morally superior to God and that He is less than adequate. Even some in
the church have begun to suspect this same thing, that God just may not
be that great. But, as people of faith, we have an understanding that
helps us bridge the reality of what we see with those realities we do
not see. But how are we to communicate this understanding to a
skeptical generation?
Our guest on today's broadcast is Dr. Wade Bradshaw, author of Searching for a Better God.
