There comes a point, when…

If you don’t like how God has run the world -

If you don’t like how God is running the world -

If you don’t like how God will run the world -

If you don’t like what God has said about you -

If you don’t like what God has said about your friend -

If you don’t like what God has said about the churches -

If you don’t like what God has said about preaching -

If you don’t like what God has said about the necessity of the Gospel -

If you don’t like what God has said about hell -

If you don’t like what God has said about marriage -

If you don’t like what God has said about sin -

If you don’t like what God requires of every single person -

If you don’t like what God has said about those who disobey -

If you don’t like what God likes (like holiness) -

If you don’t like God’s justice -

God’s holiness -

God’s righteousness -

If you don’t like what God has said about Himself -

If you don’t like how serious God is about His glory -

If you don’t like the exclusive revelation of God in Christ Jesus -

And that it requires the absolute allegiance of everyone on this planet -

And if you do like those things of which God disapproves -

There comes a point, when, despite all protests to the contrary, one fact becomes tragically obvious:

You just don’t like God.

And whatever you do like -

Well, whatever that is, it isn’t the true and living God.
