The “But God” Passages – Series 1-10

The “But God” Passages—Heaven’s Intervention in Man’s Ruin is a ten-part, KJV-based examination of those decisive moments in Scripture when human ability ends, earthly circumstances pronounce their hopeless verdict, and God intervenes according to His power, mercy, faithfulness, and sovereign purpose. Beginning with Joseph’s declaration that God overruled the evil intentions of his brethren, the series traces divine intervention through David’s preservation from Saul, God’s judgment upon the rich fool, the bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ, the quickening of sinners who were dead in trespasses and sins, God’s comfort for His cast-down servants, His power to produce spiritual increase, His use of the foolish things of the world to confound the wise, His faithfulness in temptation, and His promise to redeem the believer from the power of the grave. Along the way, the essays distinguish divine overruling from calling evil good, salvation by grace from human self-improvement, biblical comfort from shallow sentiment, spiritual fruit from manufactured religious success, and God’s promised way of escape from excuses for sin. Readers who complete the series will gain a deeper understanding of divine providence, human ruin, the resurrection of Christ, salvation by grace, Christian service, temptation, death, redemption, and the unanswerable difference made whenever Scripture interrupts man’s apparent final sentence with the words, “But God.”
