In the Potter's House

In the Westminster Shorter Catechism the question is asked – “What are the Decrees of God?” “The Decrees of God are His Eternal purpose, according to the counsel of His will, whereby, for His own glory, He has foreordained whatsoever comes to pass.” And the next question states – And how does God execute His decrees?” “He executes His decrees in the works of creation and providence. God is the Creator of all things and people, and He is the Governor of all things and people. God has created all things for His glory, and His government of the world is what I will term this morning – Dynamic. Let me give you this proposition: God’s Divine Government of the world show us that all individuals and all nations experience a dynamic display of His power to save and power to judge, based upon whether they will repent. So in opening up this truth to you who have come here this morning, I would like to pose this question – How is God’s power displayed in governing the nations and in saving men? This is the question that we want to try to answer.
