Lemme' s'plain somethin' to you...
10:30am Sunday morning at The Burlington Music Center
Why do bad things happen to good people?
Classic question.
Another question though is this; "Is there actually such a thing as a 'good person'?"
Right.
"But if I'm following Jesus, shouldn't things go somewhat 'well' for me?"
Maybe.
Explore the nuances with us this week.

12 I want you to know, brothers, that what has happened to me has really served to advance the gospel, 13 so that it has become known throughout the whole imperial guard and to all the rest that my imprisonment is for Christ. 14 And most of the brothers, having become confident in the Lord by my imprisonment, are much more bold to speak the word without fear.
15 Some indeed preach Christ from envy and rivalry, but others from good will. 16 The latter do it out of love, knowing that I am put here for the defense of the gospel. 17 The former proclaim Christ out of rivalry, not sincerely but thinking to afflict me in my imprisonment. 18 What then? Only that in every way, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is proclaimed, and in that I rejoice.
-Phil 1:12-18 (ESV)
