About this episode
We live in a world that is deeply confused about the nature of God. To the extent that modern man thinks about God at all, he conceives of Him as a distant, abstract principle. He is the great watchmaker in the sky, who wound up the universe and then retired to a safe distance to see how it would all run down. He is an idea, a force, a vague sentiment of goodwill. But He is most certainly not a God who gets His hands dirty. This is the central lie of Deism, and it is a lie that has seeped into the foundations of the modern church, producing a weak and anemic faith. He is a God for Sundays, but not for Mondays. The passage before us this morning is a direct assault on this timid, domesticated deity.
