The Amazing Providence of God by MP: What is the Biblical evidence that God is in control? What does it mean to say that God is in control? Is God in control of all things are just general things?

If God is Sovereign, Why do Anything? by MP: How can it be consistent to believe that God controls everything, yet we must act? What do we say to a person who has concluded "Since God controls all things, I will do nothing"? After much thought on this issue, I have written this article to address these very questions and to give insight into how we can be free if God is sovereign. Must reading.
The Glory of God in the Problem of Evil by MP: Atheists often argue against God's existence by concluding that a loving God would not want to allow evil and an all-powerful God would be able to prevent evil. Since evil exists, they therefore conclude that God does not. This article argues that, on the contrary, it is loving for God to allow the temporary presence of evil in the universe.

Practical Applications of God's Providence by MP.
The Sovereignty of God Over Evil by MP:
How can it be that God has fore-ordained whatsoever happens--good and evil--and yet God is not the author of sin? The ability to answer this question helps give us a more accurate understanding of God's sovereignty, and allows us to overcome one of the main objections to belief in God's absolute sovereignty.
The Consistency of Divine Sovereignty and Human Accountability by MP: If God determines and controls everything that we do, why are we not mere robots? Why is it still true that all of our sins are our own fault? This is the second big set of objections to God's absolute sovereignty. This article not only helps overcome them, but further refines our understanding of how God's sovereingty operates. Not only that, it helps us understand ourselves better by examining how the human will works.
