Why Do Bad Things Happen to Good People?

1. Sin – Because there is sin in the world.
   • There are consequences for our actions.
2. Spiritual Pruning
   • God ‘prunes’ us so that we experience fullness in Him.
   • The final outcome isn’t immediate.
   • When he takes things away – it brings new growth.

Consider the bad things in your life…

• Is it because of sin in your life?
  • If so, talk to Him about it.  Confess your sins.
• Are you being pruned?
  • He is wanting you to be more than you are now – more holy and righteous.
