If there is a real and mortal danger for Christians, it is that we will try to make God over into our own image. It is not new. It has been in every age of man.

Paul was driving at that right from the start in Romans, when he spoke of men who changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man.

But surely, we know better now, don’t we? Sadly, we also keep trying to remake Jesus Christ in our own image. And the worrisome thing is that Christian leaders have not slapped all these ideas down. They are silly at best, and destructive of faith.
