What Is Relational Theology?

What is relational sovereignty?

Christians wrestle with how to understand how God’s sovereignty works. On the one hand, the Bible clearly presents God as sovereign over all the universe. But, at the same time, it also presents God’s will and activity as being flexible and even acted upon by His creation.

We read the Bible and see that God could deliver His people from suffering, and sometimes He does, but much more often we are left to suffer in this life. How can we square that reality with the promise that God is a God of love?

Many Christians hold to a view of sovereignty commonly called “meticulous determinism,” or “meticulous providence.” But this view does not account for much of what we see in Scripture and it logically concludes with God being a monster Who makes sport of human beings.

A smaller number of Christians hold a view commonly called “open Theism,” where God is not actually sovereign.

Is there another way to understand what is revealed in Scripture but also squares with the problem of suffering?

Relational sovereignty offers the way.

Ecclesiastes 9:11-10:1 – Look On The Blight Side

The Teacher honestly shares a major finding in his studies – that the world is a consistently unfair place. How does this reality square with our understanding of God’s sovereignty?

Ecclesiastes 2:12-26 – One Life To Leave

The Teacher grapples with the fact that death will rob him of all his life’s work one day.

After all his achievements, experiences, and greatness, the Teacher realizes that none of it will last forever, which drives him into a deep depression.

Prophecy Update #794 – This Mount Is My Mount

None of the major news outlets understand the true cause of the fighting in Israel that began with the October 7 attack by Hamas.

In May of 2021 Hamas launched rockets in retaliation for Israeli security forces entering the Al Aqsa Mosque after Palestinians threw stones and other objects at them. Hamas opposes any changes to the status quo at Jerusalem’s Temple Mount.

The current war was started by Hamas in response to the arrival of the red heifers. These exceedingly rare animals are needed to establish worship on the Temple Mount. In January, 2024, a Hamas spokesman specifically identified the red heifers as proof Israel would soon try to destroy the Mosque & other Islamic buildings.

Isaiah 65:1-25 – Only The Bad Die Young

In the future Kingdom of God on Earth, “anyone a hundred years old will be considered young, and to die younger than that will be considered a curse.”

There are a number of views on the End Times, and views within those views. A few of them have substance in that you can see how scholars arrived at them from the Bible itself. I’ve told you before that, officially, Calvary Chapel’s End Times teaching is PreMillennial PreTribulation Dispensational Futurism.

Prophecy Update #792 – Before Your Very Eyes

One day the Holy Land was under British control. The next day, Israel was a sovereign nation.

Over 2,800 years ago, the prophet Ezekiel spoke these words about Israel:

“I will take you from the nations and gather you from all the countries and bring you into your own land” (36:24).

The first part of that was fulfilled on May 14, 1948. Isaiah made this wild claim: “Who has heard such a thing? Who has seen such things? Shall the earth be made to give birth in one day? Or shall a nation be born at once? For as soon as Zion was in labor, She gave birth to her children” (66:8).

Does God’s Sovereignty Cancel Out Free Will?

Does the Biblical illustration of the potter and the clay prove that God’s sovereignty cancels out human free will?

Does God create some humans for salvation and others for damnation?

What are we to make of this word picture when we read passages like Romans 9?

You may be surprised to learn that every instance of this illustration concerns nations, not individuals.

Pastor Gene Pensiero shares some thoughts on this issue.

Isaiah 63:7-64:12 – One ClayNation, Under God, Impressionable

Isaiah illustrates God’s involvement with nations as a potter working with impressionable clay.

Certain aggressive but disturbing theologies teach that the Master Potter makes some ‘people-pottery’ that will definitely be saved, AND He makes some ‘people-pottery’ that cannot be saved. If you object to that awful depiction of God, they will look at you with their cold, steely eyes and say three words they believe will render you subdued and compliant: “God is sovereign.”

Of course God is sovereign! His sovereignty doesn’t mean God can behave in ways that are contrary to His nature. If something would be immoral for us to do, how much more terrible if God does it?

That approach to sovereignty reminds me of the famous Richard Nixon quote, “When the president does it, that means that it is not illegal.”

Ecclesiastes 2:1-11 – Lifestyles Of The Rich And Restless

Everyone wants to live the good life. Is that such a bad thing?

The Teacher lived the good life to an extreme none of us can imagine. He had every pleasure imaginable and, in the end, he said it was all hevel – smoke that dissipated whenever he tried to grab it.

If living the good life doesn’t ultimately satisfy, what IS the meaning of life? How do we find the fulfillment we all want deep in our hearts?

Ephesians 4:14-16 – Growing Up Godly

It’s time for God’s people to grow up individually and corporately.

Have you heard someone talk about deconstruction? Most often it refers to evangelical Christians getting rid of the truths they used to believe, getting rid of the church, and then redefining their faith, often in an individualistic sense and, usually, changing the ‘truths’ they believe to be more in step with the world’s culture.

Deconstruction is not God’s goal. Self centered, isolated Christianity is not God’s goal for you. His goal for me you and the person sitting next to you is unified growth, where individually and corporately we become more and more like the GodMan, Jesus Christ.

Prophecy Update #756 – The G

We are rushing headlong into the tyrannical one-world predicted in the Bible. If polls are correct, most of the people in the world favor it.

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has determined that we have fewer than 10 years to reduce global emissions by half to avoid the worst impacts of catastrophic climate change. To tackle this urgent need, they say we must align food policy with climate policy and drastically reduce the amount of meat and dairy produced. This is especially true for countries with high consumption, like the United States. Cutting 90% of beef consumption and replacing 50% of other animal-based foods with plant-based foods in the United States would save more than 2 billion tons of greenhouse gas emissions from being released into our atmosphere by 2030.

We are on the verge of a global, completely cashless economy that will be accessed by a personal biometric identifier.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. calls trend “the slippery slope to financial slavery and political tyranny.” That’s an extreme statement, but you can see how it is true. Once you must rely upon an all digital economy, the government will most assuredly gain access to your account to punish you, or to force behaviors they deem necessary.
