Topic: The Silence of God Theodicy
By Sir Robert Anderson
Theodicy. This work is about when God is silent, the silence of God, which in theology it is theodicy. Why doesn’t God immediately vindicate his children.
Robert Anderson worked for Scotland Yard in England, and he was an excellent investigator. He was also a dispensation writer.
This work explains why God “doesn’t work like we would expect him to work.” This is theodicy.
Problem with the Problem of Evil
Topic: Theodicy
By David and Randall Basinger
Problem of Evil. This is a 5 page article on the problem of Evil. How does evil exist within a world where an omnipotent God has all power, and his will is always done. This article was originally on http://www.biblical-theology.com.
This problem is an explanation of why evil exists in a world under an all powerful God. Although this is a difficult question to resolve, God does create some of his beings (angels and humans) with a free will, in which God allows that being to make decisions on their own, and specifically to obey God or disobey God.
After all is said and done, then God enters into judgment with that being on several bases. We know for sure that humans are judged on the basis of believing in Jesus Christ or not, and also they are judged on the amount of knowledge of God’s will they knew, biased by how much was available to them during their life. Seeking God’s will, seeking to know what it is, seeking to understand it, seems to be a very powerful factor in God heaping more and more judgment on a person, and God not judging a person so sternly.
Another factor is repentance from committed sins, and a turning to God. This also would allow a person to “find God’s will” easier, and God seeking to help that person understand

Porter why We Must Fight Why we must fight is a book that describes our Christian Warfare and why we must fight.
This work describes our Christian Warfare.
Beginning with a picture of the Christian’s spiritual battlefield, onward to the Bible’s depiction of a Godly soldier all the way through to that holy victory that overcomes the world, this book carefully explains why the Christian believer must stand up for Christ and fight the good fight of faith. It explains not only why we must fight but why we must stand and fight together as one Body in Christ, in accordance to the commands of Christ. For those seeking to understand the rationale for spiritual warfare this book will provide solid Biblical evidence and clear and logical reasons and uplifting spiritual support as to “Why We Must Fight!”.

by E M Bounds
Revivals are among the charter rights of the church. They are the evidences of its divinity, the tokens of God’s presence, the witness of his power. The frequency and power of these extraordinary seasons of grace are the tests and preservers of the vital force in the church. The church which is not visited by these seasons is as sterile in all spiritual products as a desert, and is not and cannot meet the designs of God’s church. Such churches may have all the show and parade of life, but it is only a painted life. Read more
