Judging God, Part 2

“God is Good.’
“God is Love”

“God is Light”

You’ve heard these expressions from the time you were a wee child. From these images, we’ve imagined the Almighty as the grandfather we never had.

No wonder, when asked about eternity, eight out of 10 Americans will answer that God will reward them for being good.

“He wouldn’t send me to Hell, would He?”
“I’m basically good.”
“I don’t try to be bad.”
“Inside, I’m pretty decent.”

And so on the deceit continues.

But we cannot let our view of what God should be, often garnered from Hollywood, interfere with who God is.

The Hollywood God is an elderly gentleman who smiles at us, pats us on the back, and gives us our allowance. He doesn’t ask for anything in return.

What does your God look like? Comment here.
