About this episode
We live in an age that is drowning in grievances. Everyone has a beef with reality, and consequently, a beef with the God who made and governs that reality. The modern mind, when it deigns to consider God at all, treats Him like a celestial civil magistrate who is failing badly at his job. There are only two ways to build a civilization. You can build it with bloodshed and injustice, or you can build it with faith and righteousness. You can build on the sand of human pride, or you can build on the rock of Jesus Christ. Our modern sensibilities prefer a god who is manageable, a faith that is comfortable, and a worship that is primarily therapeutic. We want the consolations of Christianity without the collisions. We want the crown without the cross, the resurrection without the crucifixion, and the promises of God without the holy terror of God.
