ISAIAH 45:7

"I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things."


Do you believe that God is in control of everything? Yes, everything, like even the pixels on your screen forming this post. Is God truly in sovereign control of all events we experience or witness or read and hear about in the news?

Could it be that God is still moving and shaping nations just as He did in the days of Isaiah and Jeremiah? Is there a real purpose for the War on Terror? Is God to be glorified or ignored in what we call "world affairs"?

Does God's sovereignty make us robots? Or could it be that maybe we just don't understand just how enslaved we are to sin. Could it be that we think we are free, but in reality we are in bondage to our wills that are corrupted by sin? Is there really such a thing as a human nature that is totally depraved?

It would seem that the total inability of man is at the root of all the problems of the world. Sin is universal. All men everywhere have been affected since Adam. All men refuse to believe that God is truly in control of everything. All men refuse to bow in total submission to the one true King of Kings, the Creator of the universe, the only God and Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ.
