The title of this page is taken from Paul Williams’ and Barry Cooper’s book of the same name. In it, Williams and Cooper discuss 13 of the most frequently asked questions regarding the Christian faith. Below you will find a brief glimpse at some of the questions along with some supplementary articles.

If you’re there, God, then why don’t you prove it?

In other words, why doesn’t God simply reveal Himself to people and be done with it? Surely it would make things easier. Yet, this question assumes that God hasn’t revealed Himself. We believe He has through the natural world and specifically through the person of Jesus Christ.

Please find some articles below which can help in understanding what we believe to be evidence of His existence.

Why is there so much evil and suffering in the world?

The problem of evil, injustice and suffering have led many to conclude that there is no God in the universe, let alone a loving one. However, what happens if one were to remove God from the picture in suffering? We believe that ultimately, without God in the picture, we cannot have an assurance of justice; suffering and life itself would ultimately be meaningless; and there is no hope in life after death.

We do not take suffering or the problem of evil lightly, and our hearts and prayers go out to those who are maybe going through hardships even as they read this. Below you will find some articles which we believe can help shed light on the problem of evil and suffering from a Christian perspective.

For a more detailed look in addition to the aforementioned articles, we would highly recommend Ravi Zacharias’ book titled: ‘Why Suffering?’

Why would a loving God send people to hell?

To most of us, this seems like one of the most offensive doctrines of the Christian faith. If God is loving, then why would He send anyone to hell? The contention though is that God does not delight in the punishment of the wicked. He does, however, respect our decisions.

As a God of love, He has identified mankind’s greatest problem - sin - and provided us with the solution by sending His Son, Jesus Christ to take our place as the object of God’s righteous judgement so that we may be free to enter into eternal life with Him. He does not however, force this decision upon us. He warns us; He lovingly pursues us; ultimately though, He respects our choices. Hell was designed for the devil and his angels, not for people. Hell is not a sudden punishment but rather a trajectory which is determined by who we are on earth. This life allows us to change our trajectory by placing our trust in the atoning work of Jesus Christ, and to enter into relationship with Him.
