I don't see that witnessed to anywhere in the Bible—Jesus wept and was angry, which just continues the tradition of frustration expressed by both the people of God and God Himself. We are totally within our rights to ask God, "What in Heaven is taking so long for you to save us?", or even "I don't know what this is, but it doesn't look like what you've promised me.", and we can find Biblical words to use to express that. Yet when it comes to expressing those thoughts with other Christians, we're often told to shut up and "have faith".Robert Fischerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15576124960718643532noreply@blogger.com
