Hello All,
"Those of us who claim to believe in ‘the God of the Bible’ must become more aware of how we read the text through thick lenses of our own unconscious biases. From these distorting filters we are prone to construct idols of God in our own image. And so, we hear the controversial German preacher, Meister Eckhart, cry out in exasperation, “God! Deliver me from ‘god’!” That is, save me from every shadowy conception of God that I’ve created and worshiped, deceiving myself into believing it is the one true God! So I say no—if there is a God, I don’t just get to fashion him from the clay of my own image. I need him to reveal himself in a way that can be known." - Dr. Brad Jersak
