Idolatry (65)
  1. But what does it mean to love someone or something more than we love Jesus? It means that they who were formed as a gift we transform into a god.
  2. So the law was shattered, our icon was becoming urine and dung inside our guts, and lots of bloody corpses littered our camp. All this because we decided that it was okay for us to choose how we approach God.
  3. Like me, like most Americans, the equation of wealth with happiness is so firmly rooted in her psyche that only a divine surgeon could dig it out.
  4. The second truth, however, is that just because God has become a man does not mean he thinks, desires, or speaks as man generally does.
  5. Our hearts are half Amish at times, hankering to live in the past, for we dislike the present or fear the future. But therein lies a grave danger, for nostalgia can easily become the gateway drug to despair.
