Our God Resigns??
Contributed by Dr. Larry Petton on Jan 8, 2021 (message contributor)
Ray Stedman, noted pastor and author, once traveled to England to speak at a Bible conference. The church sanctuary was filled with people eager to hear this well-known teacher. The service began with singing and praise to the Lord. One of the songs was the chorus "Our God Reigns."
Stedman, seated on the platform next to the pastor, glanced down at the song sheet and began to smile. Then he started to laugh. The words on the song sheet had been mistyped. The congregation was belting out the words, "Our God Resigns."
Our God has not "resigned". He reigns forever and ever and His kingdom is everlasting!
