This Sunday we talked about how God forbids us to minimize who He is. We talked about how our images of God can be characterized into the Grandpa god, Candyman god, Man Upstairs god, Supreme Court god, and Emotional god.
Here are some questions to meditate on...
How can we break generational bad habits and sin patterns?
In what ways do you see that you have been violating the second commandment?
****As fallible humans, we take objects, thoughts, or things and try to make ourselves a picture of God. It is time to put away our presuppositions and images because these things will always fall short of the true image and character of God.
We begin to think these objects represent God. In the finiteness of our humanity, we look for something we can touch, feel, and experience -- something that makes God comprehensible to us. We build an image to see and understand Him more, but it never does Him justice. And we end up loving our own creation more than Him simply because it is tangible and visible.****
