Descartes and "Cause and Effect"

Many times a day, we think about doing things without actually doing those things. Then we have thoughts that manifest themselves in action. The question before us is how does thought translate into action? What is that connection between thought, will, and action? What is the relationship between cause and effect? Continuing this study on the Consequences of Ideas, Dr. Sproul discusses Descartes' thoughts on cause and effect in relationship to God's power in the universe.
