Seeking an understanding and interpretation of reality within the context of the Christian message, crossing denominational boundaries, informed by all present knowledge, relating to all world religions, for the benefit of humankind.
John, I have tried to find a way to e-mail you, following your post on my blog on Monday, but can't seem to find a way. I may be missing it, but I cannot find anything on this website that indicates who you are or where you can be located, and I do want to respond to what you said. Please know that I hear you and agree with you. I think if you read my book on the book of JOB -- SITTING STRONG: WRESTLING WITH THE ORNERY GOD, especially in the chapter about God's not being our "Sugar Daddy" -- and if you read my other work, especially my books on Jesus, you will get a fuller view of my work than on that one post. In fact, I all but rail against the very thing you mentioned when I teach and speak. I abhor the idea that God exists to give us all of the ego-gratifying things of "your best life." Thanks for writing. I appreciate what you had to say. Grace to you - Jeanie
