Avoid Chasing A Single Secret Plan
- Do not assume God has one secret career or spouse preordained for you that makes other choices evil or miserable.
- Roy Askins warns against anxious switching between jobs because unhappiness doesn't prove you're outside God's will.
Jeremiah 29 11 Is Corporate Not Personal Career Guidance
- Jeremiah 29:11 addresses Israel's corporate future, not an individualized secret plan for every Christian's career.
- Askins traces the verse to Jeremiah's letter to exiles and the promise to restore Israel after 70 years.
Use Reason For Vocational Choices And Trust Spirit For Faith
- Use your God-given reason to make civil-life decisions like career and spouse, but don't rely on it to earn spiritual righteousness.
- Askins cites Augsburg Confession 18 and Augustine: free will operates in worldly judgments, not in initiating faith.
