Inconsistent Sovereignty

I was just watching a rerun of Larry King Live in which John MacArthur appeared with a rabbi, a catholic, a spiritualist and an athiest. The question was posed about God's knoweldge of 9/11. Everyone except MacArthur and the athiest immediately claimed free will. That God could not interfer with man's will. God , they said was not responsible. Then Larry asked a great follow up. What about the Tsunami? The issue Larry is homing in on is God must be resonsible somewhere. I mean if God is God and he is all powerful and all knowing and all supreme over the universe then at somewhere along the line He is responsible...either by being able to stop things or by directly governing them. If not then what does it mean to be God. And I think Larry brings out something we must realize. Our goal is not to God off the hook, to make him look good to human unbelieving eyes. Our job is to proclaim the sovereignty of God that makes the snow fall, grass grow, determine the roll of the dice and even causes calmity in the city. And if God is sovereign over natural events is goes to fit that he is sovereign over all events , personal and natural. This is not my biblical presentation of the doctrine of Providence, that may come later. My point is simply this. The world can accept a God who is sovereign over EVERYTHING, not just some things. I think people can and will accept that. What they cannot accept, what confuses them and Larry King is an inconsistent sovereignty. One that shows up where it wants and is absent during crisis. This is what we must never subscribe to and what we must fight with all our might. If we as Evangelical Christians start proclaiming Biblical Sovereignty then maybe the world will see a difference and will be drawn to a God who is in control.
