Astonishing God

“The God of the modern evangelical rarely astonishes anybody. He manages to stay pretty much within the constitution. Never breaks our by-laws. He’s a very well-behaved God and very denominational and very much one of us, and we ask Him to help us when we’re in trouble and look to Him to watch over us when we’re asleep. The God of the modern evangelical isn’t a God I could have much respect for. But when the Holy Ghost shows us God as He is we admire Him to the point of wonder and delight.” – A.W. Tozer
