About this episode
We live in an age that has domesticated God. We have turned the consuming fire of Sinai into a decorative scented candle for the coffee table. Our modern worship is often a self-centered affair, designed to produce a particular emotional experience in us. We judge our worship services by how they make us feel, by their authenticity, by their relevance, by their creativity. We want a God who is our buddy, our co-pilot, our therapist. And so we approach Him with a casualness that would have been unthinkable to any previous generation of saints. We believe that sincerity is the gold standard of worship. If we mean it, if it comes from the heart, then God must be pleased with it. But the Scriptures beg to differ, and they do so in the most startling and violent way imaginable.
