There are many tragedies in the world that are simply inexplicable. We will never understand them this side of heaven. However, there are many tragedies that we can explain. These usually come about when someone is bound and determined to do things their way, even though they know it's destructive. This behavior pattern is called stubbornness and it is always followed by pain. Find out why and what you can do about it. John 9; Judges 2:6-19; Heb 3:7-13; 1John 5:14-15

Jon 1:1-3, 4:1ff; Ex 8:1-12; 1Sam 8:6-21; Rom 1:18ff; Ps 81:8-16; Jas 1:20, Matt 6:15
