Subject: God is sovereign: So, why pray ? |
Bible Note: Dear Brother Brad, I don't think that that is what Barth is saying. He is simply affirming that God has foreordained means. The fact that we pray at all is because God has stirred such a desire in our hearts beforehand. Therefore, we press on in prayer confident that God has effectually predetermined that we should be people who press on in prayer! :-) John Piper expands on the subject in "The Sovereignty of God and Prayer" which can be read here: http://bible.christianity.com/StudyResources/11540550/page1/ In Him, Doc |
