Providence

Let me encourage you to take those “if onlys” and draw a circle around them. Then label the circle, “The providence of God.” The Christian believes that God is greater than our “if onlys.” His providential hand encompasses the whole of our lives, not just the good days but the “bad” days too. We have the word accident in our vocabulary; He does not… Yes, even accidents occur within the circle of divine providence. –Erwin Lutzer Taken from One Minute After You Die by Erwin Lutzer, Moody Publishers, 1997, p. 123-124, 130. see also www.disciplemaking.net

The Providence of God: Ten-Part Course from John Piper: “Providence” is not a word we commonly use. This is true today and it was true in 1995 when John Piper introduced a ten-part course at Bethlehem Baptist Church on “The Providence of God.” The ten messages were recorded on cassettes that we have recently discovered and converted to MP3s. Apart from some delays in pressing the “Record” button back in ’95, the entire audio has been pieced together and is now available for free download.Stream or download the course, The Providence of God: Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Part
