About this episode
We live in an age that prides itself on its alleged autonomy. Modern man imagines himself to be the master of his own fate, the captain of his own soul, a sovereign individual making his own way through a random, meaningless cosmos. He believes history is a chaotic jumble of human decisions, driven by economics, or power, or blind chance. But the Scriptures present us with a radically different picture. History is not a jumble; it is a story. The God of the Bible is not a distant, deistic clockmaker who wound up the universe and then retired to a safe distance to see what would happen. He is the sovereign Lord who works all things after the counsel of His own will. He is intimately involved in every detail, from the fall of a sparrow to the rise and fall of empires.
