Bible Question (short): The Sovereignty of God |
Question (full): "You don't hear much preaching these days," said David Jeremiah in a sermon broadcast on radio this afternoon, "on the sovereignty of God." He told of his amazement to find in Charles Haddon Spurgeon's sermons such a large number of sermons on God's absolute sovereignty. Dr. Jeremiah offered a large list of reasons why he believed that the subject of the sovereignty of God has grown so unpopular in the world today, even in the pulpits and pews of Christian churches. Without writing a full report on Dr. Jeremiah's sermon, I'll ask the Forum: Is it important to teach and preach and meditate upon the sovereignty of God? Why? And why do you think it has become so unpopular a subject? (Has humanism crept into the thinking of Christians? And how would this affect their thinking about the sovereignty of God?) Lastly, what does the Bible say about God's sovereignty? --Hank |
