Why to bad things happen to anyone, not just the good, but the bad and the neutral? That is the question in everyone's mind, especially for the ones that suffer lost. For those that went through hard times, i'm sorry, i don't have a satisfactory answer for you, which is "i don't know". i'm not God, so i can't tell you exactly what the reason is for you to go through all these hard times.
The answer that i have is for the rest of us watching comfortably on our couches and watching CNN. When you ask yourself, "why bad things happen", my answer is: because God placed it there for His people to go out and demonstrate the same love He gave to us. For those that lost a loved one, God sends His church as their family of support. When troubles arise in finances, God sends His church to lift them out of their holes. The church is the opposite of trials and tribulation. It's the answer that God gives to the hurt. What saddens me is that many, not all, churches don't see it that way. They would go out and live individual Christian lives on Sunday. Well, that's not what the purpose is for Christians. Being a Christian is every day and every moment, seeking opportunities to share the love that we don't deserve. If we catch ourselves at home and not doing anything, with the claim of abiding in Christ, then that's not a Christian. Our faith requires action (James 2:14-17,26). i pray that every man, woman and child in the church body will wake up to the reality of their faith in their actions. There is no way you can go out and live each temptation and say that you are convicted as a Christian. We are not perfect, but we are aware of where we stand and we are called as a church body to minister to those in need of love and care. We are the hands and feet of Christ. Time to serve!
