To argue that man is
a free moral agent and the determiner of his own destiny, and that therefore he
has the power to checkmate his Maker, is to strip God of the attribute of
Omnipotence. To say that the creature has burst the bounds assigned by his
Creator, and that God is now practically a helpless Spectator before the sin
and suffering entailed by Adam’s fall, is to repudiate the express declaration
of Holy Writ, namely, "Surely the wrath of man shall praise Thee: the
remainder of wrath shalt Thou restrain" (Ps. 76:10). In a word, to deny
the sovereignty of God is to enter upon a path which, if followed to its
logical terminus, is to arrive at blank atheism. ~AW Pink
