The concept of "freedom" is over rated, in that no one is ever free. We are contained by a variety of forces that keeps us constrained; physically, mentally, and spiritually. God satisfies all of these constraints, through His earthly representative, Jesus Christ. The Predetermined Election reviews the evidance for the sovereignty of God's choices that define our freedoms, in Christ, and answer some of the questions, as to why bad things happen to good people. About the autheor: Born in McCook, Nebraska in 1950, I have spent the last 60 years walking with the Lord. The last thirty eight years have been in ministry, as teacher, music minister, clinic devotional leader, and hospital Chaplin. I received my ordination in 1989 and have served as a church bishop for twenty years. The College of Biblical Studies in Houston Texas has provided me with formal education in teaching. In my 60 year walk with the Lord, I have experienced the ups and downs, in and outs, along with the doubts, of the Christian life. I know what it is to be redeemed, healed, and delivered by a gracious loving heavenly Father who loved us so much that he sent Jesus to come, dwell among us, and take our place in judgment, so that we may say with Job, "Though he slay me, yet will I trust him". (Job 13:15)
