Absolutely Sovereign Clay Curtis Psalm 76:10: Surely the wrath of man shall praise thee: the remainder of wrath shalt thou restrain. If we deny the absolute sovereignty of God we do not deny it because we think it belittles God. Whether we know it or not we do it TO BELITTLE GOD AND EXALT SELF. […]
David said, “I have been young, and now am old: yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread” (Psalm 37:25). God will never forsake a righteous man. This gives us some glimpse of what was going on while Christ hung on the cross. He was certainly the righteous man. He […]
