In the decade of the 1980s, a massive and comprehensive study of religion in American life was undertaken by the Gallup organization. The results of the study were as terrifying as they were revealing. Americans, even evangelical Americans, are woefully ignorant of the content of Scripture and even more ignorant of the history of Christianity and classical Christian theology.

God is not blind; neither is He capricious. For Him there are no accidents. With God there are no cases of chance events.

We are not sinners because we sin. We sin because we are sinners.

To say that God's sovereignty is limited by man's freedom is to make man sovereign.

The only freedom that man ever has is when he becomes a slave to Jesus Christ.

We persevere because we are preserved by our High Priest's intercession.

If God is the Creator of the entire universe, then it must follow that He is the Lord of the whole universe. No part of the world is outside of His lordship. That means that no part of my life must be outside of His lordship.
