Sometimes Christians wonder why God has not already gotten rid of Satan? I think most of us would agree that the world would be better without Satan, so if God continually allows him to live, then there must be a reason.

In this episode, Kenny makes the Biblical argument that God is, by His own sovereignty and providence, using Satan’s attacks and schemes for the betterment and development of the people of God and, ultimately, for the expansion of the glory of God.
