About

What if the tension between divine sovereignty and human freedom has never actually been resolved - not because Scripture is unclear, but because the philosophical frame we inherited obscures what Scripture plainly says?

Ongoing Sovereignty: The God Who Is Here begins with a single question: does God exist outside the present moment, or is He - as He declares Himself - the great I AM? That question, pursued carefully through Scripture, opens a framework that upholds the full doctrines of grace while taking seriously the biblical portrait of a God who grieves, relents, responds to prayer, and acts in genuine relationship with His people.

This is not Open Theism. It is not Molinism. Ongoing Sovereignty Theology affirms total depravity, unconditional election, and the preservation of the saints - while rejecting the philosophical assumption that God has exhaustively decreed every event. The result is a framework that resolves the sovereignty-freedom tension not by softening either side, but by reexamining the definition of time itself.

The book works through the hardest texts honestly - election, the problem of evil, intercessory prayer, and eschatology - without flinching at what Scripture actually says. It is written for the believer who has felt the dissonance between their theological system and their prayer life, and refused to stop asking why.

First Edition, 2026. Published by Open Hand Theology, an imprint of Mathis Consulting LLC. The complete text is available free online at ongoingsovereignty.org.
