“Your god sucks because he’s controllable. Your god sucks because he’s tame and predictable. Most of all, your god sucks because he looks nothing like Jesus, and I’m convinced he’s not the real God at all.”
That is a quote from an article on relevantmagazine.com titled “Your God Sucks.” It’s an amazing article in which the author, Jeff Goins talks very “in your face” about who God really is and who we sometimes think God is. You know sometimes we don’t realize it, but we do put God in our little box, and in this box is how we see how God working or even who He is.
God is the same yesterday, today, and forever and God is not your available for us to mold him into a god that we like. God is God. He is what He always has been. We don’t control God, heck sometimes we don’t even understand God.
I think there is one concept when it comes to God that is very difficult to comprehend. The fact that God loves the world is easy to say, but very difficult to feel. God does love the entire world, every single person that has ever existed or is still existing God loves. That includes all the horrible people that have done horrible things. God loves them too. Everyone.
As human beings that is very difficult to comprehend, because we look at ourselves and see how we sin and then we look at people like Hitler and it doesn’t fit. Well, it doesn’t have to. God loves everyone. End of story.
I encourage everyone to read Jeff Goins article, “Your God Sucks” because it is seriously awesome! Check it out here: http://www.relevantmagazine.com/columns/church-today/17220-your-god-sucks
I love to talk about Jesus and the full life He calls us to
