(no subject)
it is a scarce wonder, no wonder at all, that in a society dedicated to consumerism people ask what can i get out of worship. as if getting something out of everything expresses an appropriate response toward life. the question of worship when so stated does not take God seriously. it does not ponder the true worth of God. for to treat God as if He were a means to our ends, is to imagine that we are ourselves are God. God is not humanity's servant.
