Thoughts

1) Sovereignty is totalistic. All or nothing. God cannot be sovereign in one area but not another. God is an immanent God, He is nearby.  

2) Sovereignty is made of planning and predestination of some kind. Total planning and execution. His planning shows us yet again that He is immanent still. 

*If you take away sovereignty from an area (planning or anything else) you must give that sovereignty to someone else but the planning or whatever else will still get done.*

3) Sovereignty is omniscience. It is all-knowing. Omniscience will not just go away, either God will have it or you will try to give it away to something else. You cannot have total planning by God if he does not totally know everything (including the future). 

4) Sovereignty is characterized by ownership. Everything is the Lord's, He owns it all and we are but stewards. We are not our own but we were bought with a price. Ownership never goes away, it can only be transferred to someone else. 

5) Sovereignty is characterized by Law. The law will reflect  the law-giver. The taxes/tithe are also a good thing to look at. Is it 10%? Or more like 40-50%?
