About this episode
We live in a world that worships at the altar of chance. Modern man, in his rebellion against the throne of God, insists that history is a series of fortunate or unfortunate accidents, a chaotic jumble of random events signifying nothing. He wants a universe where he is the master, where his choices are ultimate, and where no one is pulling the strings behind the curtain. But the Scriptures present us with a radically different reality. There are no stray molecules, no maverick moments, no random encounters in a field. Every event, from the falling of a sparrow to the rising of an empire, is meticulously woven into the grand tapestry of His sovereign purpose. This is a hard truth for many, because it means that God is sovereign not just over the good things, the sunny days and the unexpected blessings, but also over the dark things, the betrayals, the injustices, and the sins of men.
