In a universe governed by God there are no chance events. Indeed, there is no such thing as chance. Chance does not exist. It is merely a word we use to describe mathematical possibilities. But chance itself has no power because it has no being. Chance is not an entity that can influence reality. Chance is not a thing. It is nothing.

The Advent season is that time when we seek to, in a manner of speaking, mute our memory of what has already happened, that we might brighten our joy that it happened. We leave the already of His advent to taste the bitter of the not yet. We, in short, go back, that we might look forward to His coming.

I believe it to be one of the most important discipleship resources we have produced at Ligonier.

If ever there were a time there was nothing, there would be nothing now.

We are secure, not because we hold tightly to Jesus, but because He holds tightly to us.

Sin is cosmic treason

We fall privately before we ever fall publicly.
