But in this book we are treating of the Sovereignty of God, and while the responsibility of man is readily owned, yet, we do not pause on every page to insist on it; instead, we have sought to stress that side of the Truth which in these days is almost universally neglected. Probably 95 per cent. of the religious literature of the day is devoted to a setting forth of the duties and obligations of men. The fact is that those who undertake to expound the Responsibility of man are the very ones who have lost \u2018the balance of Truth\u2019 by ignoring, very largely, the Sovereignty of God. It is perfectly right to insist on the responsibility of man, but what of God ?\u2014has He no claims, no rights! A hundred such works as this are needed, ten thousand sermons would have to be preached throughout the land on this subject, if the \u2018balance of Truth\u2019 is to be regained. The \u2018balance of Truth\u2019 has been lost, lost through a disproportionate emphasis being thrown on the human side, to the minimizing, if not the exclusion, of the Divine side. We grant that this book is one-sided, for it only pretends to deal with one side of the Truth, and that is, the neglected side, the Divine side.&#8221; From <i>The Sovereignty of God&nbsp;<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;Two things are beyond dispute: God is sovereign, and man is a responsible creature.
