It is sad to hear that today many evangelical theologians and Christians despise the notions of “God’s sovereignty” and “the sovereign grace of God.” Although the Holy Scripture proclaims clearly the lordship of God the Creator (Gn 1:1), it is almost impossible for a Christian to listen to a sermon emphasizing God’s free and gracious work in Jesus Christ from today’s pulpits.… Continue reading
