The rain falls on the just and the unjust; foxes have holes and birds have nests, while lilies adorn the fields. Everything in creation is under the providing care of God. Not only does God supply all things, but He arranges them according to His plan and for His glory. For Christians, this ought to produce peace and comfort even when it appears that all is against them. Dr. Sproul begins this series by exploring many of the different aspects of the Providence of God.

You don’t know what you’re talking about. Go back and check the facts, fool.
Whatever this free will is, it has been corrupted by the fall.
Frankly, I believe the concept of free will is psychobabble.
America has crossed the Rubicon and nationally chosen to reject the Lord Jesus Christ and Almighty God's rule over our people and nation. They have purposely chosen to side with those who renounced the true and living God, and Jerusalem as the eternal capital of Israel... THREE TIMES. They have sided with those who hate America and her Judeo-Christian foundations, laws, morals and underpinnings. Sided with those who hate Israel, the Jews and the one true and Almighty God of Israel and the entire universe. Sided with those who love and endorse unbridled evil: murdering unborn babies by the millions and who support and promote unbridled sexual promiscuity, perversion, sodomy and for the first time since the foundation of the world, as a nation, support and promote perverted, so-called sodomite "marriage". They have willfully, purposely chosen a godless, wicked, evil, man as their president-dictator to rule over them and have purposely chosen godless, wicked, evil men and women who are his willing servants to represent them. All of this knowing full-well the kind of evil, wicked, godless people they voted for and have placed into power over them and the entire nation.
Almighty God has removed His hand of favor, grace and protection from America and has given us over to our own evil, lustful, wicked ways, given us over to the very people who hate America, and given us over to CERTAIN JUDGMENT, both in the here and now and in the future.
We have willfully sown the wind, and are reaping the whirlwind. America and the "American dream" as God established it, and as we have known it our entire lives is over. No mere man, no political party, no political movement can undo the damage, deliver us from what is and is to come, or put the pieces of this puzzle back together again.
Unless there is a national repentance and a nation-wide "Spiritual Awakening" and a turning in faith from our sin to a personal saving faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, that reaches from the President of the United States and his family, down to the lowliest person in America, as took place in Nineveh (this scenario, though possible, is highly unlikely), THERE IS NO NATIONAL SALVATION FROM WHAT IS COMING, ONLY JUDGMENT, FALL AND DESTRUCTION.
Godly Americans who know and love the Lord Jesus Christ (the "righteous remnant") residing in the land and those Americans who do not know the Lord, and yet voted against the evil outcome of this election need to do everything in their power to PREPARE, and do whatever you can to SURVIVE what is about to descend upon us. I am talking about surviving on the very basic level of the personal survival of themselves and their families and to take it one step further, maybe the survival of your neighborhood, town or small community.
God is using the crucible of judgment that is coming as a refiners fire to purify and refine the lives and faith of His people in America; those who truly know the Lord Jesus Christ, and to use this judgment as a means of calling individual Americans to personal, saving faith in Christ.
The sure and certain judgment that is coming to America will also serve as a test to separate the chaff from the wheat; separating false Christians from genuine Christians, those who do not know the Lord Jesus Christ from those who do, separating the ungodly from the godly.
If you are reading this post today and do not know the Lord Jesus Christ as your personal savior, I implore you, I beseech you to come to Christ and accept Him as your personal savior. He alone can and will save you from your sin. He alone can and will save your eternal soul. Flee, be reconciled to God, and be saved from this evil and perverse generation before it is eternally too late.
One more thing; in the new Obamaland-Amerika that is coming and already upon us, evangelical Christians and those professing faith in the Lord Jesus Christ as the one and only savior, the true and living God, the "King of Kings and Lord of Lords" and the only, exclusive, way to heaven and to God the Father; and those proclaiming biblical Christianity, biblical morals and biblical ethics, ...these individuals, are the "new jews" as it were.
If you want to see how evangelical Christians and those espousing steadfast faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and biblical Christianity are going to be viewed and treated in Obamaland-Amerika and in our "society" at large, just look at how Germany viewed and treated the Jews under Hitler from the 1930's until Hitler's death and the utter collapse and destruction of fascist, Nazi Germany . That is what is coming to Obamaland-Amerika:
Bible believing evangelical Christians will at first be soundly, vocally ridiculed and their message rejected, they will then be ostracized from "society" and from gainful employment (these things are already taking place throughout America at an alarming, ever increasing rate). This animosity against them, their Christ and their brand of "Evangelical" Christianity will progress to outright persecution, imprisonment , and ultimately end in death if they cannot and will not accept "reeducation", recant their "evangelical" faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and become accepting participants in, and willing promoters of, Obamaland-Amerikan "society".
As for those who actually are ethnic Jews living in America; whether you voted for Obama or not, whether you are practicing the religion and faith of your forefathers or not. The handwriting is on the wall, just like evangelical Christians, your days are also numbered in Obamaland-Amerika because the Democrat party which YOU have placed into power over YOU, over YOUR CHILDREN, over YOUR GRAND CHILDREN, and over YOUR GREAT GRANDCHILDREN, HATES YOU BECAUSE YOU ARE A JEW! The Democrat party which you have placed in power over all of America HATES the Jew, it HATES Israel, and it HATES the God of Israel. When (not if) the time comes, you will suffer the same fate as that of evangelical Christians listed above in the Obamaland-Amerika that is coming. I know this to be true because the Democrats told you exactly who and what they are and stand for at their convention. They rejected the Jews, they rejected the True and living God of the Jews and they rejected Jerusalem as the eternal capital of Israel THREE TIMES! You KNEW this, you SAW this and yet, you voted for and placed them in power OVER YOU anyway!
Did you really write that in 10-11 minutes?
The election result occured because God allows free will and the individual as well as nations are allowed to choose between good or evil. God never desires evil, but He will permit man to suffer the consequences if man commits evil acts (such as voting for 0bama).
R C Sproul PING
No, it took much longer. It was something I have been burdend with since the election results.
I, in my spirit, affirm what you posted.
I feel God has been speaking something to me "BE STRONG AND COURAGEOUS"
Psalm 46:10 Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.
Deuteronomy 31:6
Be strong and courageous
, do not be afraid or tremble at them, for the LORD your God is the one who goes with you. He will not fail you or forsake you."7 Then Moses called to Joshua and said to him in the sight of all Israel,
“Be strong and courageous
, for you shall go with this people into the land which the Lord has sworn to their fathers to give them, and you shall give it to them as an inheritance. 8 The Lord is the one who goes ahead of you; He will be with you. He will not fail you or forsake you. Do not fear or be dismayed.”
23 Then He commissioned Joshua the son of Nun, and said,
“Be strong and courageous,
for you shall bring the sons of Israel into the land which I swore to them, and I will be with you.”
Joshua 1:6
Be strong and courageous,
for you shall give this people possession of the land which I swore to their fathers to give them.
7 Only be strong and very courageous;
be careful to do according to all the law which Moses My servant commanded you; do not turn from it to the right or to the left, so that you may have success wherever you go. 8 This book of the law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do according to all that is written in it; for then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have success. 9 Have I not commanded you?
Be strong and courageous!
Do not tremble or be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”
1 Chronicles 22:13 Then you will have success if you are careful to observe the decrees and laws that the LORD gave Moses for Israel.
Be strong and courageous.
Do not be afraid or discouraged.
1 Chronicles 28:20 David also said to Solomon his son,
“Be strong and courageous,
and do the work. Do not be afraid or discouraged, for the LORD God, my God, is with you. He will not fail you or forsake you until all the work for the service of the temple of the LORD is finished.
2 Samuel 10:12
Be strong, and let us show ourselves courageous
for the sake of our people and for the cities of our God; and may the LORD do what is good in His sight.”
Joshua 24:15 If it is disagreeable in your sight to serve the LORD, choose for yourselves today whom you will serve: whether the gods which your fathers served which were beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorites in whose land you are living; but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.”
And now one of my heros: Caleb (who was Joshuas partner)
Joshua 14: 6 Then the sons of Judah drew near to Joshua in Gilgal, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite said to him, “You know the word which the Lord spoke to Moses the man of God concerning you and me in Kadesh-barnea. 7 I was forty years old when Moses the servant of the Lord sent me from Kadesh-barnea to spy out the land, and I brought word back to him as it was in my heart. 8 Nevertheless my brethren who went up with me made the heart of the people melt with fear; but I followed the Lord my God fully. 9 So Moses swore on that day, saying, ‘Surely the land on which your foot has trodden will be an inheritance to you and to your children forever, because you have followed the Lord my God fully.’ 10 Now behold, the Lord has let me live, just as He spoke, these forty-five years, from the time that the Lord spoke this word to Moses, when Israel walked in the wilderness; and now behold, I am eighty-five years old today. 11 I am still as strong today as I was in the day Moses sent me; as my strength was then, so my strength is now, for war and for going out and coming in. 12 Now then, give me this hill country about which the Lord spoke on that day, for you heard on that day that Anakim were there, with great fortified cities; perhaps the Lord will be with me, and I will drive them out as the Lord has spoken.”
Joshua 15: 13 Now he gave to Caleb the son of Jephunneh a portion among the sons of Judah, according to the command of the Lord to Joshua, namely, Kiriath-arba, Arba being the father of Anak (that is, Hebron). 14 Caleb drove out from there the three sons of Anak: Sheshai and Ahiman and Talmai, the children of Anak. 15 Then he went up from there against the inhabitants of Debir; now the name of Debir formerly was Kiriath-sepher.
Some people want to live
Within the sound of chapel bells
But I want to run a mission
A yard from the gates of hell
And with everyone you meet
I'll take them the gospel and share it well
And look around you as you hesitate
For another soul just fell, let's run to the battle
Run to the battle
Do you have your armor on?
We're in the middle of a raging war
We've been training for so long
Have we learned to use His sword?
We may not be ready but we serve a mighty Lord
And He's made us more than conquerors
So what are you waiting for? Let's run to the battle
We got to run, run to the battle
He has trampled down the enemy
And has given us the victory
When we pray we learn to see that His army
We are marching on our knees
There'll be times when we grow weak
Let's keep our faith alive
Let your faces shine with glory
For He's helped us to survive
And in that final hour when you feel like you're ready to die
Will you hear the trumpet sound
Will you hear the warrior cry, run to the battle
We got to run, run to the battle
Some people want to live
Within the sound of chapel bells
But I want to run a mission
A yard from the gates of hell
And with everyone you meet
I'll take them the gospel and share it well
And look around you as you hesitate
For another soul just fell, let's run to the battle
Run to the battle
