Thought for the Day ~ 28 May, 2026 A.D.

"God can either bestow or refuse to bestow blessings on the children of men without prejudice to any of His attributes. He arbitrarily does as He pleases. God is the cause of the effect. God, the first cause, cannot create a first cause. God cannot create God. Everything He created is the second cause. How can the second cause let the first cause do anything? 

The first cause planned, prepared, created, and controls everything. He is either God or He is not God. Although most people give the Son of God the name of Jesus Christ, they know nothing of His person and characteristics. The foundational truth of all truths is the absolute sovereignty of God."
