The Doctrine of God: Week 24
Systematic Theology: An Introduction to Biblical Doctrine, by Wayne Grudem.
Chapter 16, God’s Providence: If God controls all things, how can our actions have real meaning? What are the decrees of God?
This week we begin our discussion on how God keeps all created things existing and maintaining the properties with which he created them (preservation) and how He cooperates with created things in every action, directing their distinctive properties to cause them to act the way they do (concurrence).
About The Author
In 1979, God grabbed ahold of my life and has had me in his big grip ever since. My passion is learning and teaching about God and about his word. I believe that God created us to discover his glory through intellectual pursuits. My other passions, in descending order, are my family (my wife Carla and our three kids), my profession (graphic design), community service (through my position with the Gwinnett Chamber and through coaching sports), and singing.
