01368 – God’s Providence? No Favoritism
Weatherhead, Leslie

The idea that God’s providence means that he looks after those who serve him by a special use of his power in terms of favoritism is an immoral idea and insulting to both man and God.

No true Christian wants to opt out of the trials that beset others, and no worthy idea of God could include his establishment of a kind of insurance scheme by which, if God be worshiped, cancer, for example, could be avoided.
