Coffee Talk

I'm mulling over some news from the week in preparation for our coffee house event this weekend. I'm reading about the killings in Alabama pondering questions I might ask to drum up discussion. My main thought is that, in general, people tend to think "People" are generally good at heart but then here comes this story and it throws that thought into a tailspin. How can a "generally good person" go on a killing rampage? Is it possible that our concept of man is seriously flawed? And if so, how does it affect us individually since, well, we're "Man" (gender inclusive). Really, we are all one bad decision from significantly altering our lives.

But then there's the question; where was God in all of this? How could He allow this to happen to a small community that no one had ever heard of before this? God is supposed to be sovereign and in control...

So, these are some of the things I'm pondering; some of the questions of life to bring to light with the hopes of creating a discussion that causes people to think more deeply about the world they live in...

Have a great weekend!
