Some people I know lost their eldest son at the age of seven through a farm accident, they believe he came to salvation many years ago but has backslid over the years. I struggle with trying to come at this tragedy from a biblical perspective. Other well meaning folks have said to them that it could be God's way of bringing them back (and to) fellowship with Him. They cannot accept this and is in fact driving them away. I guess it comes down to the oldest question of them all "why did God allow this to happen?" As a family (2 other younger children ) they are really suffering.
In 2 Samuel 7, why was David picked to be king? Why he was labeled as the man after God's heart?
Should Christians suffer?
If a Christian commits a sin and dies before he repents where does he go?
What is the basis within God that enables Him to forgive sin, is it on the basis of His mercy or on the basis of His justice?
How can a Christian life touch others?
I tithe from my gross. Since I started to tithe, my financial miracles have been varied but evident, what lacks was provided for. But in July and August 05, it's not been easy. I have tithed and given more, but time is running out on me, I haven't been able to pay rent. As I still wait for the Lord, tell me is it strange?
