My Faith is Built On Nothing Less...

...Than the very eternal, powerful and authoritative sovereignty of God.

If I did not believe that my God was absolutely, completely, totally powerful and sovereign over all things, I would not have the faith I do today. Everything that has happened or will ever happen, is planned according to his will...everything that has happened or will happen He has sovereignly allowed. Every crumb that falls, every cloud that moves, every tree that sways, every flower that wilts, every soldier that dies, every wave that rolls, every hair on your head, every ant that is squashed, every note that is played, every grain of sand that is moved, every cell in your body, etc. God would not be God and would not be called God if he didn't constantly know and control every single detail of humanity, creation and everything that exists. Man has responsibility and the freedom to makes choices, but God is still sovereign and all-powerful over every decision, and it IS His will. If something wasn't God's will, it would never happen in the first place. That is not to say that when we sin, it is God's good will. He is in control, but we are absolutely 100% responsible for our actions.



"Or does not the potter have a right

over the clay, to make from the same

lump one vessel for honorable use and

another for common use?"
