 A minister and an unbelieving barber were walking through the streets having a conversation about the love of God. And the barber said to the preacher, if God was such a loving God, why would he permit all the poverty, disease, and misery that exists in the world? I can't believe that a loving God would permit these things. The minister didn't know what to say until he met a man who was especially unkept and filthy. He had his hair down to his back. He had half inch stubble. He didn't have the best odor.
