About this episode
We live in a therapeutic age, an age that has made an idol out of our own perceived inadequacies. We take inventory of our strengths, our weaknesses, our personality type, and our spiritual gifts profile. This entire way of thinking is a pious fraud. It is a modern, respectable, and church-approved form of rebellion. It cloaks our fear and our unwillingness in the guise of humility. In our text today, we come to the climax of Moses's objections at the burning bush. But Moses has one last card to play, the ace of spades in the deck of disobedience. And in God's response to this final excuse, we find the bedrock truth of His absolute sovereignty, and the staggering nature of His grace toward stubborn saints. Who are we to argue with his self-assessment? He is speaking to the God who made him.
