Lessons

Leland Maples runs the LOOP’s Ministries (Loved Ones Of Prisoners) and leads a Thursday night bible study held in the Rec Room at Life Change Baptist Church in Odessa Texas.  The Rec Room message on Thursday, July 25, 2013 was entitled “When God Doesn’t Answer” and was given by Leland.  Special music was by Charles Reynolds.

The message covered the scriptures in Job 23:3-4; 8-10; and Isaiah 55:8-9

• Is God Indifferent?
• Does God Not Know?
• Is God Unloving?
• Is God Unwilling?
• Did God Prepare Hell for Man?
• Did God Prepare Heaven for Man?

These questions are asked and answered in the message.

Scripture

Job 23:3-4 KJV
3 Oh that I knew where I might find him! that I might come even to his seat! 4 I would order my cause before him, and fill my mouth with arguments.

Job 23:8-10 KJV
8 Behold, I go forward, but he is not there; and backward, but I cannot perceive him: 9 On the left hand, where he doth work, but I cannot behold him: he hideth himself on the right hand, that I cannot see him: 10 But he knoweth the way that I take: when he hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold.

Isaiah 55:8-9 KJV
8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord. 9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.
