How God Uses Evil to Develop Our Character (Video)

In this brief excerpt from J. Warner Wallace’s talk on the Problem of Evil (taken from his best-selling book, God’s Crime Scene), J. Warner discusses one of seven reasons why an all-powerful, all-loving God might still allow an act of evil to occur. If God is loving, why would He allow bad things to happen to the people He loves? Might God use evil in the world to develop our character? What kind of world would God have to create to develop the kind of character most of us would recognize as virtuous?

For more information about the scientific and philosophical evidence pointing to a Divine Creator, please read God’s Crime Scene: A Cold-Case Detective Examines the Evidence for a Divinely Created Universe. This book employs a simple crime scene strategy to investigate eight pieces of evidence in the universe to determine the most reasonable explanation. The book is accompanied by an eight-session God’s Crime Scene DVD Set (and Participant’s Guide) to help individuals or small groups examine the evidence and make the case.
