While I agree with most of the article, the end makes God sound manipulative- which He is not. It's an attempt to explain.

Problems arise when we presume to understand God based on our own concept of time and space. We can't. We won't- ever. It’s futility given the size of our brains. There's just no use in trying to explain the unexplainable and in doing so we become guilty of answering back to a God who is (from our vantage point) largely unknowable in his methodology.(Romans9:20). We are to know His character and attributes and ultimately leave the answering of how He does it – up to him. (See Job).

God operates in a realm far above the knowable of how he coordinates our sin to produce ultimate good: he is capable of supplying free will to each of us, with the culpability resting squarely on our shoulders without Him even entering the fray of it. However, because He is not limited to confines of time and space as we, He is able to ordain and maintain total sovereignty.
