Unexpected Hope Series

Contributed by Rich Mccaskill on Jul 21, 2020

In our confusing and broken world, we can still have hope because of Jesus.

My own journey of hopelessness began when I was 15. As much as I wanted to believe in God, I could not.

The subject of Free Will cannot be simply defined. However, it can be described as the ability of a person to determine within themselves the choices they make and the course of action they take.

Nowhere in the Bible is there any specific mention of 'Free Will,' the divine will of God, or human free will because it never discusses philosophical subjects of any kind. It is apparent in the Bible that God is regarded as acting freely, and that humans are recognized as free agents to do ...read more
