“Although the sovereignty of God is universal and absolute, it is not the sovereignty of blind power. It is coupled with infinite wisdom, holiness and love. And this doctrine, when properly understood, is a most comforting and reassuring one. Who would not prefer to have his affairs in the hands of a God of infinite power, wisdom, holiness and love, rather than to have them left to fate, or chance, or irrevocable natural law, or to short-sighted and perverted self? Those who reject God's sovereignty should consider what alternatives they have left.” LoveShouldSelfGodWisdomHandsChristianLawFaithBeliefLeftNaturalReligiousChanceLordPowerFateUnderstoodAnd LoveUniversalAbsolutesInfiniteBlindAffairChristian InspirationalDoctrineAlternativesRejectionHolinessRejectsTrust In GodConsideringSovereigntyTheologianComfortingCommitment To GodNatural LawReassuringMighty GodGod Is In ControlIrrevocableShort SightedSovereignty Of GodInfinite Power Book:The Reformed Doctrine of Predestination [Fifth Edition] Source: The Reformed Doctrine of Predestination [Fifth Edition]

“We really have no choice but to pray and encourage a return to an America steeped in Judeo-Christian values. It is either that or taking our chances in a society with no values at all. For all Americans the former carries certain risks, but the latter spells certain doom. For now, we should not be deflected by theological debate from the life-saving tasks awaiting us. There is work to be done. We must ensure that America will continue to be part of God's plan for the world.” WorldShouldDoneChristianAmericaCertainValuesChoicesChancePlansRiskReturnPrayingTasksScaryDebateSavingFormerLatterCarrieSpellsDoomTheologicalGod's PlanWork To Be DoneLife SavingChristian Values Book:America's Real War Source: America's Real War

“Modern man has no real "value" for the ocean. All he has is the most crass form of egoist, pragmatic value for it. He treats it as a "thing" in the worst possible sense, to exploit it for the "good" of man. The man who believes things are there only by chance cannot give things a real value. But for the Christian the value of a thing is not in itself autonomously, but because God made it.” MenGivingBelieveMadeRealChristianFormValuesWaterChanceModernWorstHe ManOceanTreatsEnvironmentalMade ItExploitsPragmaticModern ManReal ValueCrass Author:Francis Schaeffer
