I Wish God Were...

We hear people say, "I like to think of God in such-and-such a way..." Let it be said, loud and clar, that this "I like" mindset guarantees that all concepts of God that we form by our speculation and wishful thinking will be seriously wrong. Sin, the anti-God syndrome in our mental, moral, and spiritual system, ensures that this will be so. Such ideas in fact lead only to a bottom line of uncertainty, so that people end up confused and bewildered about the god who is supposed to be the focus of their lives.
