"We are a generation that is more interested in 'how to' than 'for whom and to whom.' Also, we have emphasized our relationship with God in a way that can't carry the weight of God's holiness. Of course, we could equally err by emphasizing God's transcendence and differentness..... Our humanizing of God usually means that we also minimize His holiness."
Pg 150-151.
"'What works?' reveals our theology, our view of God. Doesn't this question suggest that we think God is a celestial genie, who makes everything better? But when we really know God, we worship and love him when our lives are comfortable and when they are difficult. And doesn't 'What works?' focus on ourselves rather than God?.... What's missing is an awareness... that Jesus is the reigning King."
Pg 156
