“We are constantly in the business of creating newer, shinier, golden calves. Where are you feeling? God‘s absence this week? Where are you feeling like a victim? Where is the idle factory at work, and what is it producing? Probably not what is intended.”
“The good news is that we may move on, but God does not. He did not abandone the Israelites to self-destruction, and He has not abandoned us either. Instead, He gave us His son, that we might be forgiven of our impatience and loved despite our faithlessness. The cross reminds us that God is present, especially when it looks like He is not. This the rock from which we can’t move on, however, hard we might try.”
- David Zahl
