Arthur Dent - A Platform Made for the Proof of God's Providence - Proverbs 16:33

from The Puritan Pulpit · host Nick Reddin

When life falls apart, is it bad luck or a divine plan? 16th-century pastor Arthur Dent believed that attributing anything to "fortune" was practical atheism. In this episode, we step back to 1608 to hear Dent’s A Platform Made for the Proof of God's Providence.This isn't dry academic theology. It is a warm, pastoral defense of the idea that God is as involved in the death of a bird as He is in the birth of a star. Join host Nick Reddin for a re-preaching of this essential text on the absolute sovereignty of God.
