Dr. Paul FaulknerDo We Matter to God?, by Dr. Paul Faulkner

Real Audio
Listen with RealAudio!
    I just have to confess that sometimes it’s difficult to resolve the inner tension I have between the doubt and the love I have for Jesus Christ. Books have been written by believers like "Where Is God When It Hurts" and "Disappointed with God." And in my own life it’s much the same; unnecessary divorces, unnecessary deaths plague me.

    I wonder sometimes if God really cares about the misery down here. Do we really matter to God?

    These questions have been raised for thousands of years by great men of God. Job, for example, asked God, "Do you have eyes of flesh? Do you see as a mortal sees?" No one knows us like God. The only God revealed to man — the God who became man — also felt like he was forsaken, do you remember?

    But he wasn’t.
