Kill the Nailbiting God

Kill the Nailbiting God
» S.D. Smith

The happy truth that God does not need us is a tonic against the fatal illness of self-reliance. It pleases God to work in and through us, but he is not dependent upon us. He is never biting his nails. He is never on the edge of his seat, worrying over outcomes.

If your god is like that, may I suggest you kill him and turn to the Triune God of the Bible. He is the Sovereign King. In actual fact.

I say I believe this, I think I believe it, but more often than not I don’t act like it’s true. Can you email me six times a day in all caps to remind me before I do anything else that God is who He says He is and I can rest in that?

Hear hear! (Amen was already taken.)
