A Remote Control God

Mark 3:20-22 -  And Jesus came home and the crowd gathered again, to such an extent that they could not even eat a meal. when His own people heard of this , they went out to take custody of Him: for they were saying, “He has lost his senses.” The scribes who came down from Jerusalem were saying, ” He is possessed by Beelzebul”  and  ” He casts out demons by the ruler of the demons.”

We have issues with God we have

  • -mental issues
  • -moral issues
  • -Me issues

A popular song from last century said God is watching us from a distance. That’s how we like God. At a distance. We often miss what the Lord is doing because

  • He comes in ways we didn’t expect
  • He says unfamiliar things we’ve never heard
  • He does things we never thought we’d see

God often offends our minds to expose our hearts, he can make us uncomfortable

  • Absolute truth shakes up lies and pretension
  • Absolute holiness shakes up sin and sinners
  • Pure love exposes Me for what it is

And so we set Him at a distance, a remote God or we deny his exsistence altogether.
