106 Did God Create Evil?

god-create-evilMany people have an opinion about how evil was created.  Rev. Thea Wilson, Dr. Susan Smith, Dr. Willie Jolley, and Minister Dentis Shaw engage in a passionate discussion regarding their interpretation of scripture as it relates to the question, “Did God Create Evil?”

Does Satan need permission from God to do evil works or can he just do what he wants without question?

Is it right to portray God as an all-loving God when there is so much evil in the world and when scripture clearly states that God has done what appears to be evil things in the Old Testament?

And if God is all good then how can we have all of these killings?  Why doesn’t He intervene?

My guests tackle these questions and more.

028 How To Pray

PrayerThe Bible says “ask and ye shall receive…” and “we have not, because we ask not…”  However, most of us have been asking and are still waiting to receive.

“Why are my prayers not getting answered?” is a question that many of us grapple with each day.

Why does it seem that some prayers are answered while those most dear to our hearts seemingly remain unanswered or take so long?  How many times do we need to ask for the same thing?  What are some of the hindrances to getting our prayers answered?   Is there a special way to pray?

Pastor Alfonzo Surrett sheds some light on these questions that will help you to improve your prayer life.
