The more things change, the more they stay the same...

"Christianity today is man-centered, not God-centered. God is made to wait patiently...on the whims of men. The image of God currently popular is that of a distracted father, struggling in heartbroken desperation to get people to accept a savior of whom they feel no need and in whom they have very little interest. To persuade them, God will do almost anything, even using salesmanship methods and talking down to them in the chummiest way imaginable. This view of things is, of course...manages to make man the star of the show..."

~ A.W. Tozer (1897-1963)
