One of the “great awakening” preachers once said, “If the architect of a house had one plan and the contractor had another, what conflicts would there be! How many walls would have to come down, how many doors and windows would need to be altered before the two could harmonise!” Of the building of life, God is the Architect, and man is the contractor. God has one plan, and man has another. Is it strange that there are clashes and collisions?
Today, Christians are busy erecting idols in many shapes and forms. Anything that is esteemed highly than love for God is idolatry. The twin idols of materialism and worldly pleasures are wreaking havoc in many Christian circles. The two are the “thorns of thistles” that choke the spiritual lives of many Christians today. Like their counterparts in the Old Testament, believers are exhorted to repent of every form of idol worship and syncretism before it is too late.
He who is the God of love is also a consuming fire.
