Decision Time

We make choices in terms of four things:
  • what we want (a scale of preferences)
  • what we have (capital)
  • how much time we think we have
  • and what we know about the relationships between them (a plan).

This decision-making procedure operates under God's sovereignty.

He, too, has a scale of preferences (cf. Micah 6:7-8), capital (including mankind), a time scale (human history), and a plan (decree).

Men choose analogous to God, as creatures. Men act re-creatively, not creatively.

(p128-29)
