0:13.0	Do you do you do you do you do
0:15.0	do you do All through history God has been working his plan of redemption. So how are we to make
0:31.5	sense of those times when it seems like evil is defeating God's people?
0:36.0	Alister Begg has the answers for us today on Truth for Life, as he explains why even the evil work of God's enemies is not beyond the boundaries of his
