Here is part of something I learned Sunday morning:

How has philosophy contrived to unseat the doctrine of Providence? You'll find, throughout the history of man's thinking, that there's been a whole gallery of worldviews brought forward to rescue man from the grip of control. Human nature does not want Providence. You’ve got to realize that. We’re talking about something that unawakened men hate.

Remember that Jean-Paul Sartre hated the God of the Bible, because he recognized that, if there was the God of the Bible, if that God existed, he was watching, and Sartre didn't want to be watched. He called God “the celestial voyeur of man's actions.” So, you need to find some way around it. There is a whole gallery of worldviews that have been pushed forward to rescue man from what? being controlled, because Providence controls. Man doesn't want to be controlled. So, he will adopt any idea, any worldview, to keep from imagining himself being controlled, and so, he asked the question:

“What gives God the right to be in everybody's business? What gives him the right to be in my business? I don't want to be controlled by anything or anyone outside myself.”

Because, the issue with man is always one thing: Power. Who's in control? Providence says: God is. Man has developed every possible way to sidestep that idea. The issue is always power.
