In this secular and materialistic world, we don’t think deeply about God. When we do, it’s too often about a God who sanctions violence or retribution. Or a God who chooses one people over another. Or a God of fundamentalism who is the God of another age. Or a God of convenience. All these are false Gods, but we revel in them.
God is unknowable. Still, God wants to be known through love that is transformative. A rigid vision of God dismisses the varied and complex nature of humanity. God can be discovered in all the visions of God flowing from all the people of God. When we narrow our vision of God, we insult God in the ways God is made present to us.
