Some Calvinists say that God controls everything right down to the tiniest particle that makes up the atoms in a dust mote. This notion makes everything and everyone special, because God is intimately manipulating all things great and small in His creation. This means that every human being is special in God’s ultimate plan and purpose. It also means that God causes…

Sermons on God's Will
Some proponents of Calvinism teach that God caused Pilate and Israel to crucify Christ. That they really had no choice or free will in the matter. Taking this stance leads them to believe that God controls everything, down to the dust motes floating in the air. If this is true, God committed the greatest sin in all of human history. Did Israel…
Theology give us a plethora of titles for God’s Will. They say He has a permissive will, a revealed will, a hidden will, a directive will, an over-ruling will, and others. Theology teaches that God has a specific will for each person. Who to marry, what job to have, where to live, and on and on. All of this is extra-Biblical nonsense.…
How many wills does God have? Permissive, Providential, Directive, Over-ruling, maybe even Random? These are made up to prove another made-up doctrine: God’s Sovereignty. Randomness and vanity rule the world today because we l ive in a sin-cursed world. The idea that God causes everything has its’ roots in paganism.https://www.gracealive.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/random.png The events of 9/11 illustrate the randomness of the curse. Time and…
Does God have a different will for each individual believer? If so, where would one go to find it. God has a will for the human creation: be fruitful and multiply. (Everything in popular culture fights against this.) He has a will for His earthly people, the nation of Israel. They are to be a kingdom of priests. He has a will…
To know God’s will, we must first know His ‘doctrine’ according to John 7:16-17. Doctrine is the principles of what is taught. So to find God’s will, we begin by looking at the principles which He teaches. Any doctrine, including God’s will be found in the words spoken by the propagator of that doctrine. God’s doctrine, and therefore His will, is to…
Chastening by God has a history in the scriptures concerning Israel. In Leviticus 26 God lays out the seven courses of chastisement for the nations if they fail to keep His statutes and judgements in their hearts. This chastening is recorded throughout the historical books of the Old Testament. It is prophesied of in the prophetic books. The 70th week of Daniel…
Most folks that believe in God also believe that God intervenes in the lives of individuals and societies to either punish or reward them according to their works. This is a common belief in Christianity also. But if God places you in Christ and imputes the righteousness of Christ to you when you believe, this creates a problem for that doctrine. If…
God has given Christ all things. Those who are in Christ are called joint-heirs with Christ. That means that all things given to Christ have been given to those in Christ. But it was Christ that was chosen. We become part of the chosen when we by faith are placed into the body of Christ. All things that we are given are…
All things work together for good to them that love God FOR WHOM HE DID FOREKNOW . . . The reason all things work together for good to those in Christ is because God foreknew Jesus Christ. He predestinated, called, justified and glorified Jesus Christ. Therefore, anyone placed into Jesus Christ by their faith would also be given the same things Christ…
