yeah

I haven't written in a week and it has been a strange one. I have been sick, which hasn't happened in four years. I do not really know how to deal with it because sitting and getting better is not in my vocabulary. Also, by God's grace I have some peace and am dealing with some issues that might be my 'thorn in the flesh' type stuff. finally a little philosophy thought:

Sovereignty coming from the quote in Revelation and reason: new essays in reformed apologetics, edited by Oliphint and Tipton:
"Far from annulling human freedom, total divine sovereignty alone makes such freedom meaningful."
If someone does not believe in the complete sovereignty of God, and the workings of his foreordained plan, how is it possible for man to live in any comfort or freedom? In reality with no absolute plan or belief in the overarching 'fate,' then it would seem that a person not believing in God would be in a constant state of worry and panic because everything is based on chance and chaos. In sovereignty, there is a belief that God is controlling outcomes and through this, comes a peace that there is order in a 'chaotic' world. That is why divine sovereignty seems to be more freeing then normal unbelief because you live in the freedom of knowing that all is foreordained in the plans of God, and that worry about every occurrence or decision is not necessary. The only reason why we worry is because we are prideful, sinful, idolaters of ourselves thinking we know better then God and not resting in that foreordained plan, Christian or not. Finally, if you do not believe in God's sovereignty then that is more faith the believing because there is too much order in the world to believe that everything is happening by chance or even that people will make enough 'right' decisions in a row to create the order that exists now. If that is not convincing, where does man get the ability have order and do what is correct when the presupposed thought by most of humanity is that there is generally a glitch and a bent toward sin? Why search for a sin gene in human genetics if you do not believe in God and religion, who is the creator of such a thought?

this is random thoughts and just came out i hope they were at least entertaining.
