Is God’s will always done? No, because God does not will for us to sin. As a parent I want my children to be successful and to be a productive member of sciety. Doesn’t every parent want that? Then why are our prisons full to over flowing? Every coach wants every shot to go through the hoop,

WHAT GOD WILL DO, NOT WHAT YOU WILL DO FOR GOD
Henry Blackaby said, "You never find God asking persons to dream up what they want to do for Him...Without doubt, the most important factor in each (Biblical) situation was not what the individual wanted to do for God. The most important factor was

Suppose I gave you an automobile valued at $50,000. I say to you, "I’ll give it to you if you just give me $1." You say, "I thought you were going to give it to me." That’s not a gift. It might be cheap, but it’s not a gift. It is the result of your payment.

Perhaps you are familiar with the greeting or call to worship whereby the pastor or liturgist declares, “God Is Good,” and the people, respond, “All the Time.” The pastor affirms, “All the time,” and the congregation declares, “God is Good.” Many United Methodists use it frequently as a
