Secret Will of God?

This past week’s show was started by us talking about our last week’s worth of ministry.  Jesse and his wife were still in Florida preaching the Gospel, but they will actually be in NC by tomorrow night (Friday, 11/14).  John and I went and met with a brother in Charleston, SC to preach the Gospel to the students at the College of Charleston.  It was really rowdy the first day as the students defended their sin and professing “christians” defended sin and sinners instead of rebuking them and calling them to repentance.  The school newspaper actually published an article about our first day at the school.  You can read that by CLICKING HERE.

We then talked about the results of the election and what we think awaits America because or our new leadership.  Obama has already said that he would stop the offshore domestic drilling.  That means gas prices will sky rocket again.  He also is going to begin his socialist agenda by taxing the wealthy and giving to the poor.  Who does he think he is, Robin Hood?  This is America, not Nottingham Forest.  It is quite possible that having Obama as president is a judgment to America from God.  God have mercy on us!  We will continue to preach the truth no matter the cost to us.

Then, we moved on to our two Questions of the Week.  The first question has to do with the Calvinistic doctrine of the “Secret Will of God”.  First, we talked about the position and what it means.  Then we looked at from the perspective of logic, justice and the Bible.  It was found wanting!  We discussed it pretty thoroughly.  Finally, we discussed the second question of the week: When Paul said that he was the chief of sinners in 1 Timothy 1:15, was he talking about his present state?  Was Paul presently the worst sinner on the face of the earth?  Or was he talking about his past and his persecution of the Church.  So many professing “Christians” use this Scripture as a way to justify sin in their own lives.  What would be the implications of Paul presently being the worst sinner on the face of the earth while writing 1 Timothy?  It is crucial to understand this passage!  Your eternity may depend on it!  To listen to this episode of Refining Fire Radio, click below:
