I take great delight in the sovereignty of God.

Sometimes my Calvinist Brother’s and Sisters seem to perceive the Sovereignty of God in a very narrow or negative way (I.e. God is sovereign over who repents and who doesn’t.) But when I think of God’s sovereignty, I think of God’s personal care over me like a good shepherd. The Apostle Paul experiences shepherding like this when he was caught in a storm while imprisoned on a Roman ship. Paul encouraged his frightened ship mates with this prophetic word of comfort:

“Take heart! No lives will be lost—only the ship. Last night, you see, an angel of the God to whom I belong, and whom I worship, stood beside me. ‘Don’t be afraid Paul...God has granted you all your traveling companions.’ So take heart, my friends. I believe God...”
Acts 27:22-23,24-25

The Sovereignty Of God is good news of comfort and peace. God is sovereign over nations and situations today too.

Romans 3:20‭-‬24
For by the merit of observing the law no one earns the status of being declared righteous before God, for it is the law that fully exposes and unmasks the reality of sin.
But now, independently of the law, the righteousness of God is tangible and brought to light through Jesus, the Anointed One.
This is the righteousness that the Scriptures prophesied would come. It is God’s righteousness made visible through the faithfulness of Jesus Christ. And now all who believe in him receive that gift. For there is really no difference between us,
for we all have sinned and are in need of the glory of God.
Yet through his powerful declaration of acquittal, God freely gives away his righteousness. His gift of love and favor now cascades over us, all because Jesus, the Anointed One, has liberated us from the guilt, punishment, and power of sin!

Slavery. Something most people believe to have died a long time ago, but the sad truth is that it is still alive and well today.
As believers we carry the only hope - the Gospel is the only way to bring true freedom.

Is it ever Biblical to break the law? Should we always obey those in government? What does it mean to follow Romans 13?

We look at how the underground church of China deals with these questions...
