So about a year ago, I vaguely remember reading something I thought was ridiculous at the time. Some person wrote about how hurt they were after they experience something truly painful and then blamed God for someone else’s actions.
While I understand that impulse, at the time I was fed up with people taking cheap shots at the God I love. And so I wrote a response that lacked any sense of pastoral care. That response was rightly not well received. It was more callous than it should have been and it lacked the sensitivity to meet people in really vulnerable places.
Thankfully, a great editor at RELEVANT took a small portion of the original post and turned it something that is more, well, edifying.
