The Revealed God

The real question we must ask about God’s will isn’t, “God, command us according to your will and we’ll do it,” but, “God, what are you willing to do for us who can’t do what you command?”

We might not appreciate that God chooses to save us by his word alone, but our discomfort doesn’t make the promise any less effective.

Terror and even hatred of God are the only things with which divine hiddenness can leave us.

All God's fatherly goodness and mercy is concrete and real, born of a virgin, crucified for our trespasses, raised for our justification.

The more I seek God on my own terms, the deeper I am gazing at my own navel.
