33. God’s Providence: God's Decisions Have A Purpose

Episode Summary

If God has decreed what should happen ahead of time, then do our choices really matter? While this also remains a mystery, the Bible clearly portrays our choices as being real and making a difference. Among the things which the Bible depicts as making a real difference in the world are prayer (God really responds to our prayers) and evangelism (people only know about Jesus because we choose to tell them). So even if you decide you're a Calvinist at heart, keep doing those things!
