August 19

Ezekiel's Denunciations of Judah (Continued) - Ezekiel 19:1-14, 20:1-49, 21:1-32, 22:1-31

"'You say, "We want to be like the nations, like the peoples of the world, who serve wood and stone.'" Ezekiel 20:32

We get painted as conservative, pew-sitting wackos by the mainstream. But really we're something far more daring. We're called to be counter the culture, rebels with a cause, the truly free indeed from the status quo and the way its always been. It's never good when God's chosen people long to be just like everyone else. To disappear into the crowd rather than into the clouds.

Its hard to laugh at the thought of people wanting to serve wood and stone when we serve paper money or things or success. Lord knows.
