I Create Evil

Summary

The sermon explores Isaiah 45:7, emphasizing that when God says He creates evil, it refers to calamity or judgment rather than moral evil. The preacher clarifies the difference between predestination, predetermination, and providence, asserting that not all events are predestined by God, but some are predetermined according to His sovereign will. The message stresses God's justice in bringing consequences for disobedience and highlights the conditional nature of much of God's providence toward His people. The sermon also addresses common misunderstandings about eternal life, predestination, and God's sovereignty.
