Welcome to the November 2024 issue of InterSections.
 

In a world that is so often uncertain and confusing, we take comfort in the understanding that above it all, God remains in control. We trust that in his loving wisdom God will work things out for the best according to his plan. As Jesus himself frequently prayed, ‘Your will be done’. But when we consider God’s will more deeply we are faced with many further questions, from philosophical questions relating to free will, to more practical issues regarding how we best live our lives in accordance with God’s will. It’s a big topic, but in this issue we offer a few articles to initiate deeper thinking on the subject.

​

In our Feature, Theo Gyau considers whether God has a specific will for each of us? As Food for Thought Paul Pollard asks if God’s will can be changed by our prayers. Faith Tabalujan reviews Leslie Weatherhead’s classic book,The Will of God. We also have a new kind of article, Puzzling Passages, where we aim to unpack some scriptures that are particularly difficult or misunderstood: this time Nathan Holyoak looks at Philippians 4:13, ‘I can do all things’.
 

In our International Letter Dennis Cady brings us an update on God’s work in the war-torn country of South Sudan. And in News, we hear about the latest Men’s Challenge retreat in New Zealand, Camp Revive in Victoria, the annual WinterSong in Melbourne, and a recent lectureship in Toowoomba, Queensland.

We pray that this issue will help to build your trust and confidence in the will of the Lord.
