About this episode
We live in an age that has domesticated God. The modern god, the god of American therapeutic deism, is a safe god. He is a celestial grandfather, a cosmic therapist, a divine butler who exists to affirm our choices and validate our feelings. He would never dream of offending anyone, least of all the delicate sensibilities of modern man, who believes himself to be the center of all things. This god is a projection of our own narcissistic desires, a deity created in our own image. And he is, consequently, a pathetic and useless idol. The Scriptures, however, present us with a very different kind of God. The God of the Bible is not safe; He is terrifyingly good. To encounter this God is not to be affirmed in your sin but to be undone by His purity.
