Doctrine of Creation: Episode Seven

On this episode we discuss God's providence, his work of sustaining and governing all things in creation.

Here are some questions we discuss:

• How does God relate to creation?

• Does God continue to actively work in the world that he has made? Why is this question important?

• Why does God care about the details of our lives?

• What is the doctrine of God's providence?

• Is there a limit to God's governing and sustaining work?

• What kinds of attitudes, dispositions, and actions should a knowledge of God's providence create?

Our series on the doctrine of creation is almost finished! We have one more episode of the Sabbath and may do a special mailbag episode to wrap things up.

After hours is the time that we take a break from our series to chat about something we find interesting.

In this After Hours episode, we talk about the doctrine of creation in the literature of J.R.R. Tolkien and C.S. Lewis, particularly Tolkien's Legendarium, including the Silmarillion and Lord of the Rings, and the Chronicles of Narnia.

If you have not read these books before, what are you waiting for? They could change your life and kindle your imagination to see God's world and read his Word in a much richer way.
