Our God is often too small

Our God is often too small because he is too religious.
We imagine that he is chiefly interested in religion -
in religious buildings (churches and chapels), religious
activities (worship and ritual), and religious books
(Bibles and prayer books). Of course he is concerned about
these things, but only if they are related to the whole
of life. According to the Old Testament prophets and the
teaching of Jesus, God is very critical of 'religion," if
by that is meant religious services divorced from real life,
loving service and the moral obedience of the heart.
