Over the next several days I will be linking to several articles in a series on the doctrine of providence written by Dr. Russell Moore. I hope you will take the time to read them.
The first one is "Musings on God's Providence". Here is an excerpt to whet your appetite
If your grandfather hadn’t noticed that girl at the picnic, or if he’d been too shy to say anything about it, you wouldn’t exist. All of us can think of similar “what if” situations. If Franklin Roosevelt’s mother had had a migraine headache the night he was conceived, we might all be speaking German right now. Who knows? History moves along by the seemingly small and insignificant decisions of billions of people, and by the seemingly random forces of nature.
Christians have a unique perspective on the unfolding of history–whether on the broad, cosmic level or on the small, personal level of our own stories. We believe that God is king, and that he governs the flow of events around us.
