How young Christians should understand the terrorist attacks on America

will always remember what we were doing on September 11, 2001...the day terrorists attacked New York City and the Pentagon. The scene has been played over and over again of skyscrapers on fire and people running for cover. If this were a summer action movie, it would be a blockbuster. But this is no Hollywood flick. It’s for real. Many people are wondering how God could allow this to happen. Where was He that day? Was He sleeping late or just not paying attention? It’s hard for us to understand how this could be God’s will. But let's be very clear...God hates death. He is opposed to those who cause the death of precious men, women and children. But since we believe the Triune God is all powerful, we must admit that none of this could have happened unless He allowed it. Why?
