[89] God’s Providence; the Biblical Data Mar 07, 2019

Show notes

The Bible clearly teaches that God providentially controls every detail of history. He most often uses secondary agents, including the physical laws, which he established. There are no chance events. God’s rule is both personal and moral. http://www.whatdoesthewordsay.org/podcast/89-gods-providen…he-biblical-data/ ‎

[88] God Providentially Rules Every Detail Feb 28, 2019

Show notes

God’s providential control of the affairs of this world was commonly accepted prior to the 20th century, and is still true today. There is no such thing as chance. When we speak of chance events, we are saying that the event was not planned or controlled by people. But God is in control of everything. There is no detail too small for him to be concerned about. He could not bring about his promised ends if any detail was outside of his control. http://www.whatdoesthewordsay.org/podcast/88-god-provident…les-every-detail/

[86] God Wills to use even our Sin Feb 14, 2019

Show notes

God is sovereign even over our sins. He accomplishes exactly what he has decreed will happen, but we are still responsible for our sins. God’s sovereign will and our subordinate wills work together to accomplish his purposes; this is called concurrence. God freely chose to create and to redeem a people for himself, he was under no compulsion to do so. http://www.whatdoesthewordsay.org/podcast/86-god-wills-to-use-even-our-sin/

[85] God’s Will is Not Absolutely Free Feb 07, 2019

Show notes

God is perfect and everything he does is perfect. Given his ultimate, perfect, purpose for creation, which is the manifestation of his glory, he was not free to create a world without sin. He is omnipotent, but that does not mean that he can do anything, he cannot violate his own nature; for example, he cannot lie. As part of his perfect plan, God manifests the glory of his grace in saving a people for himself. http://www.whatdoesthewordsay.org/uncategorized/85-gods-will-is-…-absolutely-free/

[84] God’s will Jan 31, 2019

Show notes

The will is the power of self-determination. Neither we nor God have absolute freedom of the will. God’s nature places constraints on his will. For example, he cannot lie and he cannot die. We also have constraints, but within those constraints and taking all factors into consideration, we do exactly what we most want to do at every moment. God does not save all people, even though doing so would please him, because doing so would not serve his ultimate purpose as well as this world does. http://www.whatdoesthewordsay.org/podcast/84-gods-will/

[83] God is Jealous Jan 24, 2019

Show notes

God is zealous to guard his own glory, the honor of his name, and the honor his church, which is the bride of Christ. That zeal is his jealousy. It is a good trait that represents a faithful love. Human jealousy is often corrupted by sin, but God’s jealousy is pure. http://www.whatdoesthewordsay.org/uncategorized/83-god-is-jealous/ ‎

[82] The God of Peace Jan 17, 2019

Show notes

God brings comprehensive peace to his chosen people. First, we have peace with God. Secondly, we have peace with each other. And thirdly, we receive the peace of God, which enables us to joyfully negotiate all of life’s trials. http://www.whatdoesthewordsay.org/uncategorized/82-the-god-of-peace/

[81] Holiness is the Pattern for a Christian Jan 10, 2019

Show notes

The fundamental profession of a Christian is, “Jesus is Lord.” This means that we owe him absolute, unquestioning obedience in every area of life. God is holy in the sense of being transcendent, but he is also the Holy One among us; Jesus Christ came to save us and he is God with us; Immanuel. His purpose is to create a holy church to be the bride of Christ. The holiness of Christ is the pattern for us to follow because we are predestined to be conformed to the likeness of his Son. The short answer to the popular question “What would Jesus do?” is, he would obey the Father. In the Lord’s prayer, we pray that God’s will be done and his kingdom, which implies his rule, come. http://www.whatdoesthewordsay.org/uncategorized/81-holiness-is-t…-for-a-christian/
