Or Psalm 88 especially. Or any of the prophets. Of course we blame God from time to time. People aren't being honest if they don't. Saying, "Why God?" is a form of blame. Whether it is descriptive or prescriptive is another matter. Maybe it's both!

But, we are commanded to rejoice at all times (Phil 4:4). The question is how. And it's a real question that deserves answers from a heart of compassion. We are not to give flippant theological directives or approach the matter using presuppositional apologetics.

A LACK OF CHARITY means you are not a Puritan, much less a Christian.

Question: How do you know which eye of John Murray's was the glass eye?
