“When we simply ignore (either intellectually or psychologically) the parts of God we don’t like, it means we don’t have a God that can ever contradict our deepest desires or say “no” to us. We never wrestle with Him, We never let Him make demands on us. We can end up worshiping a much more comfortable God, but also a nonexistent one.”

“The real issue in worship-by-images is the desire o shape and revise God spiritually.... We filter out...things about God that our hearts can’t accept.... [W]e can do this without fashioning a physical image.”
