GOD IS SOVEREIGN The scriptures declare that God has the prerogative (right) and power to do as he will in heaven and in earth, using all men good and evil, all things good and evil, all powers, principalities and rulers of the darkness seen or unseen good and evil, in the way which pleases God […]
Absolutely Sovereign Clay Curtis Psalm 76:10: Surely the wrath of man shall praise thee: the remainder of wrath shalt thou restrain. If we deny the absolute sovereignty of God we do not deny it because we think it belittles God. Whether we know it or not we do it TO BELITTLE GOD AND EXALT SELF. […]
David said, “I have been young, and now am old: yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread” (Psalm 37:25). God will never forsake a righteous man. This gives us some glimpse of what was going on while Christ hung on the cross. He was certainly the righteous man. He […]
THE FAREWELL GIFT “This is the resting place, let the weary rest; and this is the place of repose”— “Peace I leave with you; My peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives.” John 14:27 No shadow of the figurative grove of Elim is more grateful to the children of […]

His understanding is infinite.” Psalm 147:5 God not only knows whatsoever has happened in the past in every part of His vast domains, and He is not only thoroughly acquainted with everything that is now transpiring throughout the entire universe, but he is […]
There is no attribute more comforting to His children, than that of God’s sovereignty. Under the most adverse circumstances, in the most severe trials—they believe that sovereignty has ordained their afflictions, that sovereignty overrules them, and that sovereignty will sanctify them all. There is nothing for which the children of God ought more earnestly to contend, […]
SOVEREIGNTY “How precious also are Your thoughts unto me, O God!” I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the Lord do all these things. Isaiah 45:7What a sad world this would be, were it governed by Fate. Were its blended lights and shadows, its joys and sorrows, the […]
