The mere mention of the word "predestination" makes some folks uncomfortable. There is an automatic assumption that predestination is set against free-will.
I’m not naive enough to think that one little blog post and subsequent discussion will solve what smart people have argued over for centuries.
But wouldn’t it be refreshing to take the things we don’t understand about God and his redemptive work at faith value and assume . . .
. . . God knows what He’s doing.
. . . God’s eternal plan will come to pass.
. . . God’s people should behave like God’s people and just enjoy the redemptive ride.
We’re not the pilot or the co-pilot. We’re in the back seat on this journey to heaven. If we’d stop picking at each other and start looking outside the window we just might witness God’s redemptive work.
