S2E15—Marrow 8: Providence

Michael & Cody continue through ⁠The Marrow of Theology⁠, by William Ames, with particular focus upon Providence. Highlights:

  • What is providence? its etymology? its parts? and how is it distinct from the decree, counsel, and creation?
  • How should we consider God's attributes (e.g. justice, wisdom, holiness) in relation to providence?
    • Primary and secondary causes: what are they, why should we care, what can we learn and apply?
    • Participation in the divine.
      • Should this doctrine beget activity or passivity in us?
      • The abuse of providence.
      • Ordinary & extraordinary providence; Hurricane Helene and Western North Carolina.
      • What is God's incarnate justice and comfort? How do they relate to providence?
      • Donald Trump & the bullet: extraordinary providence?
      • Fear and thanks.
      • Conservation and government: what are they? how can we see them today? what can we learn?
      • Paul, Titus, and the imitation of God's conservation and government.
      • Common government vs. special government.
      • How does God cause secondary causes? How can we draw comfort from the seeming conflict of secondary causes?
      • Thomas Cartwright's applications.
