Prepare yourself. Because you’re about to have your soul shaken. At least if you’ve bought into the notion that everything that happens is part of God’s plan. I wish that rumor would’ve never been started. But here’s some other shocking info that’s gonna sound like a rumor. In a sense, you’re in control of the destiny of your soul.
Oh no! I can hear the weeping and gnashing of teeth.
Please, calm down. Get your feelings back in control.
I fully realize and acknowledge God’s sovereignty. Ultimately, it will be His big picture plan(s) that come(s) to pass. But He gave you and me the freedom to choose. And the choice is clear. Life. Or death. And both choices come with eternal consequences.
But why do I, a poet and former professional singer, talk about this kind of stuff so much? What would compel me, a guy who played music in “questionable venues” for years, to write about Jesus and Biblical teaching?
Yeah, why should anybody listen to what I say?
Short answer? You shouldn’t. Not without checking my words against The Word. Because, on my own, I’m just another average, run-of-the-mill broken human being. And when I rely on me and my own knowledge, I can’t guarantee I’ll be right. But when I reference Truth, I can’t be wrong.
So, I’m not wrong when I say God is NOT in control of this world.
Because I’m just repeating what He said. So, if you have a problem with my statement, my guess is you don’t know what God said about the ruler of this world.
But even if you don’t know what He said about the ruler of this world, the worldwide evidence should speak for itself. Because the whole world is in turmoil. Filled with chaos and confusion. Abortion, mass shootings, war. Surely you can’t tell me you believe those sound like concepts the one true, living, loving Creator would author.
If you believe that He does (and I know most people, who listen to and read what I share, don’t), let me know how you came to that conclusion. Because I believe you’re right where the ruler of this world wants you to be. And I bet that’s not what you’d prefer. Even if you believe…
Everything is for a reason.
God is in control.
Everything He turns to good
For His higher goal.
So do you want to thank Him for
Destruction and despair?
Is He the author of confusion?
You see it everywhere…
No, no…a thousand times no.
