Here is a podcast from Dr. Douglas Jacoby entitled, Why Does God Allow Evil?  There are few questions that are asked more than this question when people face trials in life, suffering, sicknesses, disasters, death and destruction, and evil itself.  Where is God when we suffer?  Why does God allow evil?  Why doesn't God, since He controls all things, not intervene for us when we pray to Him in the midst of trials?  These are questions that have plagued mankind for thousands of years and I suppose, should Jesus tarry, will continue to plague us until all is fulfilled (Revelation 21:1).
