The Might and Power of Sovereign Chance in Creation and Providence
Approximately 5 hours from now, all the mothers of the world will decide to go to the market to buy turnips. Due to such unexpected demand for turnips, not only were the roads leading to the market places of the world turned into heavy traffic zones, the supply of turnips for 3 years will instantly be consumed in just a couple of minutes. Were you perhaps alarmed? Troubled? Excited? Well, common sense would tell us clearly ...

The Creator Banished from His Own Creation
Though there are a myriad things to lament concerning the Christian world today, one of the things that I have yet to encounter is a Christian that would flat out deny that God is in control, that God is sovereign. Because, it is axiomatic to conclude that if God is not Sovereign, He is not God. To assert, even in the most fundamental level that God is not sovereign is to negate the very God-hood ...

Anxiety, Dread and Worry Before the Face of God?
I did not quite understand the true weight the article below held the first time I read it at the beginning of the year. Yes, I know full well what it is to suffer, how it is to endure suffering, how it is to go through severe acute, heart-wrenching trials—and to go through all that with the enduring faith that the knowledge of His sovereignty and grace provides. But then, the fact of the matter ...

From First to Last Jesus Does All Things Well
Starting today I will be posting "Daily Devotions" from various saints of old, Lord willing from the present as well. I hope that in some small way you would be able to find spiritual help in posts like this. I found this particular one from a friend on Facebook, though I am not sure if it's from a Devotional book. Nevertheless it has great devotional content that gives much to meditate on. Peruse slowly and feel the ...

God, the only Potentate Sovereign King!
In Arthur W. Pink's book, The Sovereignty of God, he writes in his introduction: After nineteen centuries of Gospel preaching, Christ is still “despised and rejected of men”. Worse still, He (the Christ of Scripture) is proclaimed and magnified by very few. In the majority of modern pulpits He is dishonoured and disowned. Despite frantic efforts to attract the crowds, the majority of the churches are being emptied rather than filled. ((Pink, A. W. (1996). The ...

God’s Sovereign Kingship
Finally, I am able to bring myself to continue on my series on the doctrines recovered at the time of the reformation. I want to begin this post with a question. "Why bother?" If we are to be perfectly honest with ourselves, these truths are not what you would choose to build a mega church or to start a massive scale campus harvest. This system of theology is not one that would make you extremely ...

Reformation Theology: An Introduction
492 years ago, on this day, October 31st, Martin Luther marked the beginning of the Reformation with his famous 95 theses. It was said that the hinge that the door of Christianity swings is on the doctrine of justification by faith, such is what was fought for at the time of the reformation, the reformers prior to Luther and those who went after him. Contrary though to popular belief the issue did not merely hang on ...

Who is Regulating Affairs on Earth, God or the Devil?

In the majority of modern pulpits He is dishonored and disowned. Despite frantic efforts to attract the crowds, the majority of the churches are being emptied rather than filled. And what of the great masses of non-church goers? In the light of Scripture we are compelled to ...

My Father Planned It All!
What though the way be lonely, and dark the shadows fall, I know wher'er it leadeth, My Father planned it all. I sing through the shade and the sunshine, I'll trust Him whatever befall; I sing for I cannot be silent, My Father planned it all. There may be sunshine tomorrow, Shadows may break and flee, Twill be the way He chooses, My Father's plan for me. I sing through the shade and the sunshine, I'll trust Him whatever befall; I sing ...
