2007 Ligonier Conference: The Problem of Evil | John MacArthur

Summary

This sermon addresses the problem of evil as a primary reason skeptics reject the biblical God, citing the apparent contradiction between God's attributes of goodness and power and the existence of widespread suffering. While many propose a "punt" by appealing to Deuteronomy 29:29 to dismiss the issue, the sermon implies a need for a deeper engagement with this difficult theological challenge. The practical takeaway is that this dilemma, seen as an impossible position for Christians, requires more than avoidance.
