In this video, Randy Alcorn briefly answers the question of God’s purposes for suffering and evil. Suffering tells us:

This can’t be all there is; there’s got to be something better… There is a better world than this. We live between Eden and the New Earth.

Randy will be speaking on this topic on Friday evening of our Clarus Weekend (“Between Heaven and Earth”).

In preparation for that, you might want to take a look at a lengthy interview with Randy about his book, If God is Good: Faith in the Midst of Suffering and Evil.
