Good Out Of Evil
READ: Romans 8:18-28
We know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose. Romans 8:28
The events of life can challenge our trust in the Scriptures. Romans 8:28 teaches that God can bring good out of "all things." But in August 2004 "all things" seemed hard to fathom. Some longtime friends of mine contacted me and others asking prayer for their son and his fiancée who were missing. It was so out of character for Jason and Lindsay that we feared the worst. Several days later, their murdered bodies were found, just 2 weeks before their wedding.
In those troubling days, "all things" seemed incapable of including such a senseless act. Yet the victims' families were amazing in their resolve to trust Jesus Christ, reaffirming their confidence that God would graciously bring good out of great evil.
In the following months, incredible stories began to roll in. Through letters, e-mail, and phone calls, we heard of people who had seen the families' example in the media coverage and had come to Christ. Eternal destinies had been changed and lives had been won through the testimonies of Jason and Lindsay and their families.
Nothing could ever justify those murders or replace precious lives cut short. But we are drawn again to hope, for we see God's ability to bring good out of evil. Bill Crowder
We comprehend Him not,
Yet earth and heaven tell
God sits as sovereign on the throne
And ruleth all things well. Gerhardt

Good morning, Rus. A very good and timely lesson today. Sometimes with all the evil in this world it seems the good is overshadowed.

Morning Billie...
Absolutely right, much good comes out of the bad.
I love Romans 8-28
28 And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. 29 For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the likeness of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers. 30 And those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified.

sweet graphic!(keep on hold for Tuesday)
I am about done with the Tuesday Finest Halloween thread (shock?)..Not as complex as the couple day thread from last year.
For the singles just recycled quite a bit from the weekend thread I did at Finest last year. Changed some things but having a lot of it done is SO GOOD!
waiting for the text from another participant to plug into table already done for today & the ping.
Wet & coolish here might get snow tonight.. wont complain after knowing what Rus went through
Busy, busy, busy weekend here!
Just got an email on Halloween costumes gone wrong.. It is somewhat humerous but VERY unsuitable to post here .. or anywhere else at FR.
