If God Is Sovereign, Why Pray? (pt. 2)
“How does the sovereignty of God relate to our daily lives? We understand from Scripture that God is sovereign, that He rules and reigns over all things for His glory and the good of His people.” But as soon as prayer and God’s sovereignty are set side by side, we run into difficult theological questions.

Producing Fruit
One cannot be a Christian and have no fruit. Indeed, all Christians yield some measure of all the fruit of the Spirit. It is not that one receives the fruit of love and another the fruit of joy.

Encountering Absolute Rest
“All human beings are made in the image of God, and all human beings know God created them, whether or not they want to admit it. We know that God created us with an insatiable desire for goodness, truth, and beauty. By nature we know we need these three things and that we need them absolutely.” This is how Burk Parsons begins to introduce the subject of this month’s issue of Tabletalk which looks to God as the foundation of ...
