THE ONE TRUE AND LIVING GOD IS AN ABSOLUTE SOVEREIGN!

It requires only a casual reading of Holy Scripture to see that the God of the Bible is vastly different from the god of modern religion. (Read: Ps.115:3; 135:6; Dan. 4:35; Isa. 46:9-10; Rom. 9:15-16; 11:33-36; I Tim. 6:15). The modern idea of god, which prevails most widely even among those who profess to believe the Bible, is a miserable failure. The god of twentieth century religion is a helpless, effeminate being who commands the respect of no truly thoughtful man. He is helpless, frustrated, and defeated. The god being preached from the average pulpit is an object of pity rather than reverence. To say (as most do) that God the Father has purposed the salvation of all men, that God the Son died with the express intention of redeeming the whole human race, and that God the Holy Spirit is now trying to win the whole world to Christ; when it is evident that the great majority of our fellow-men are dying in sin, and passing into a hopeless eternity; is to say that God the Father is disappointed, that God the Son is dissatisfied, and that God the Holy Spirit is defeated. I have stated the issue in plain terms, but such must be the conclusions of modern theology. To argue that God is trying his best to save all mankind, but that the majority of men will not let him save them, is to insist that the Creator is impotent, and that the will of the creature is omnipotent. Such theology is not only slightly off the mark, it is degrading to God and blasphemous!

The one true and living God is an absolute and universal Sovereign. His purpose cannot be frustrated. His power cannot be defeated. His will cannot be resisted. Anything, or anyone that can successfully frustrate God's purpose, defeat his power, and resist his will, by virtue of his supremacy would become God. This is what modern religion is attempting to do - It is attempting to do what Adam tried to do in the Garden of Eden - MODERN DAY RELIGION IS ATTEMPTING TO BRING GOD DOWN OFF OF HIS THRONE AND EXALT MAN TO THE PLACE OF GODHOOD. But, blessed be God, it shall never happen. Though Satan has attacked the throne of God by his own pride, by the sin of man, and now by perverted religion, THE LORD OUR GOD CONTINUES TO REIGN IN THE SOVEREIGN SERENITY OF IMMUTABLE, IMMOVEABLE OMNIPOTENCE! His throne, so far from being overturned, is not even shaken. It is still true, "The most High ruleth". His purpose shall be done. His will shall be performed. His glory shall be manifest in all his creation.
