THE SOVEREIGNTY OF GOD
The Sovereignty of God. What do we mean by this expression? We mean the supremacy of God, the kingship of God, the god-hood of God. To say that God is Sovereign is to declare that God is God. To say that God is Sovereign is to declare that He is the Most High, doing

                    Let’s do a math problem.  If a sheep was tethered to a pole on a rope that was 25 feet long, how many square feet would he have to graze?   p r²  .  Let’s begin by squaring 25, we end up with 625. Multiplying by an approximation of p  as 3.14, we end up with 1,962.5 square feet.
