Mass shootings are, unfortunately, a part of our society. How can we, as Christians, keep our faith through tragic events?

• God’s Presence: In the world terrible things WILL happen. Even when tragedy strikes God does not abandon us.
• God’s Protection: The protection of God is the limitation, not the removal of, evil. When going through disaster remember that without God things would have been worse.
• God’s Perfection: God has a plan, everything that happens is preordained and permitted by the will of God.
• God’s Precognition: Nothing in life surprises God. He knows the end from the beginning and is working all things for your good and his glory!
