Of God Appointed Life
Sermon by Mark SchindlerResponding to a poignant letter addressing theological questions about suffering, tragedy, and God's sovereignty, namely why innocent lives can be lost, and whether an omniscient God can feel sorrow or disappointment if He already knows the outcome, this message points to Romans 8:28 and Isaiah 46, affirming that all life is divinely appointed, existing within God's perfect unfolding plan. In the papal Humanae Vitae and the Theology of the Body warning of the fallout when humanity rejects God's design for life, sexuality, and family, it nevertheless offers hope that if people return to God's order, through chastity, stewardship, and faith, they can be healed from their grievous sins. We must trust God's sovereign timing even in grief and sore trials, realizing that life is not random, but God-appointed. Consequently, our task is to live faithfully, expectantly, and joyfully knowing that Almighty God is preparing for our resurrection and eternal life.
