When Sovereignty Turns to Fatalism (#554)




The God Journey show

Summary: Will God determine the result of the next election regardless of what we do?  Many think so based on a faulty interpretation of Romans 14. After spending a few moments answering a listener's question about is whether or not there is a valid calling to the ministry, Brad and Wayne talk about the difference between trusting in God's sovereignty and falling into the passive abyss of fatalism. This not only affects how we participate in a democracy, but also how we view God's work in our daily lives and the value of our responsiveness to him. Growing trust in God and walking with him never leaves us fatalistic. He's active in the world and we can be active alongside him as God touches the world through the lives of his followers.<br> Podcast Notes:<br><br> <a href="https://www.lifestream.org/connect/travel-events/">Wayne's Travel Schedule</a><br><br> You can find <a href="https://www.lifestream.org/progress-pokot-one-year/">our latest update on our work in Kenya here</a>.<br><br> Add your voice to our question/comment line via Skype at "TheGodJourney"<br>
