Well, it seems we see signs and wonders and miracles all over our Bibles, but for many

of us we see an absence of signs, wonders and miracles in our own lives and in the world

around us.

So where did the wonders go?

It's a question from a college student who writes into Ask Us This.

Pastor John, thank you for the wonderful podcast.

I listen regularly.

I'm a freshman at the University of Pennsylvania.

My parents are missionaries in the Republic of Georgia.

I've spent some time on the mission field with them as well.

Living on a very secular campus now is obviously a night and day difference from the mission

field.

And as I talk to my classmates about faith, life and Christianity in general, one question

that my friends often ask me is this one.

Why doesn't God work overt miracles today in 21st century America?

Like he did in both the old and new testaments.

Doesn't it seem convenient that God only worked miracles in the Bible?

Pastor John, how would you answer this objection to the faith?

My answer to this is fairly simple.

It's this.

There were fewer miracles in the Bible than you probably think.

And there are more miracles today than you probably know.
