God's Sovereignty: Is He Really In Control?

Contributed by Michael Mays on Jul 3, 2021

Are we aware of the implications, or is it just a platitude? 
And when it comes to the most important question of salvation, do we think God truly is sovereign, or is He held hostage by our choices?

The Sovereignty Of God Series

Contributed by Robert Leroe on Mar 8, 2015

God’s the infinite Ruler of all; He is “running the show.” Nothing can prevent His predetermined plan. Nothing takes Him by surprise. Those who see God’s hand in everything can best leave everything in God’s hand.

It’s been said, “How do you make God laugh? Tell Him your plans” (G.K. Chesterton). Our plans aren’t always in line with God’s. We may try to fight God’s will, but someone pointed out, “Your arms are too short to box with God” (J. W. Johnson). The ...read more
