Trinity on the Hill Episcopal Church
 

Is it okay to question God? Is it disrespectful to question God at all when we don’t understand? Is it okay to vent our deepest pain, regrets, and emotions to God? Where is the line where we start to show disrespect to God in our questioning of His nature and actions?
