Is There Any Explanation for the Seemingly Inexplainable?
"Are not two sparrows sold for a cent? And yet not one of them will fall to the ground apart from your Father. But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. So do not fear; you are more valuable than many sparrows." Mt 10:29-31
In a seemingly random act of mass murder last Saturday, a 22-year-old man with a handgun went to a U.S. Congresswoman’s community forum staged in the parking lot of a supermarket in Tucson, Arizona and started shooting people at point-blank range. When it was all over, six people were dead including a federal judge and a nine-year-old girl, and the Congresswoman was left fighting for life with a bullet through her brain.
Does this sort of horrific incident challenge your faith or leave you wondering why God didn’t stop the whole thing from happening? Did a little girl, born on another tragic day, September 11th, 2001 and full of life and dreams, really “die before her time”? In a flurry of chaos, why were some killed, some wounded, and some not touched at all? And what could possibly cause a person to commit this act -- is it true that we all have some culpability as the newspaper headline implied: “We’re better than this”?
Sean McDowell, co-author of “Is God Just a Human Invention?” and “The Unshakable Truth” will join us to discuss these questions and how the conclusions and explanations drawn by society in the aftermath of this murderous act are far from biblical.

As cultural hostility toward Christianity intensifies, many Christians have grown more reluctant to advocate for biblical values in the public square. But our perseverance for the common good—a good defined by God alone—is more important than ever in a culture that embraces darkness.
