Prodigal: Nice trophy!

Me: Yes, but don’t worship it.

This is from the book God’s Psychiatry by Charles L. Allen

We are told that “God created man in his own image” (Genesis 1:27). But to live a life in conformity with our creation is difficult. In fact, it is so difficult that all of us fall far short. Thus, instead of being like God, we seek to create Him in our own image. It is so much easier to make God like ourselves than for us to be like Him.

God tells us not to do wrong, but there are some things we want to do, right or wrong. So we create a God who doesn’t care what we do.

If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned. John 15:6 (KJV)
