Great Quotes On The Sovereignty Of God
Contributed by Dr. Larry Petton on Nov 10, 2024 (message contributor)
Great Quotes on the Sovereignty of God
R.C. SPROUL: “If there is one single molecule in this universe running around loose, totally free of God’s sovereignty, then we have no guarantee that a single promise of God will ever be fulfilled.”
MATT CHANDLER: “Trying to figure out God is like trying to catch a fish in the Pacific Ocean with an inch of dental floss.”
JERRY BRIDGES: “That which should distinguish the suffering of believers from unbelievers is the confidence that our suffering is under the control of an all-powerful and all-loving God. Our suffering has meaning and purpose in God's eternal plan, and He brings or allows to come into our lives only that which is for His glory and our good.”
ALEXANDER CARSON: As God can protect his people under the greatest despotism, so the utmost civil liberty is no safety to them without the immediate protection of his Almighty arm. I fear that Christians in this country have too great a confidence in political institutions . . . [rather] than of the government of God.”
J. VERNON MCGEE: “This is God’s universe, and God does things his way. You may have a better way, but you don’t have a universe.”
