The Problem of Evil and the Goodness of God

In physics, to understand how the force of gravity, objects in motion, how things work, you have to really operate on calculus math, that is, math as it really is. It describes what's really happening, that's calculus. Well, very few people have had calculus in college and so they teach physics with algebraic approximations. The formulas are just approximations of what will really happen if you drop a ball, and they give you an algebraic formula. It's not accurate. It's close but in reality over time as you extend it out, you get farther and farther off. Similarly, when we approach the Word of God, we have a way of wanting to shortcut and short-circuit and not think through in a full way the reality of things as the way they are and you can't do that when it comes to God. Beware of algebraic approximations and bumper sticker theology. There has to be a sense of reverence and awe. We come to the Word and we keep letting Him fine-tune our understanding of who He is, of how He operates.
