Our Image of God

It was C.S. Lewis who said, "I don't want my image of God, I want God." We might all echo that sentiment but the reality is that each of us has concepts of God that are different then the God revealed in the Scriptures. Do you have a favorite image of God that has affected your faith journey in either a positive or negative way? How has it affected your journey?

Re-creating God

We spoke this past Friday about one of the destructive images we have created for God: the cop around the corner. This image was the dominate image of God that I inherited from my parents and church growing up. It created a tension in my life that took me nearly twenty-five year to balance with the image of God described in the Scriptures. What images of God were most powerful for you growing up? Where they positive ones or negative ones? Did they help or hinder your faith journey? In what ways?
