Imagining god

How do we come to know the ineffable, indescribable God? Language fails; we cannot say what God is, only what God is like.

 For today, God is like a parent, a father (Isaiah 64:8) and a mother (Isaiah 66:13). God is our origin and our caretaker, and who we are depends on our identities in God.

God as Pillar of Fire / Pillar of Cloud, Exodus 13 & 14 -- what do you make of that? Our guest preacher Christian Briones says, “Christianity is not the religion for you if you don’t want to get involved, don’t want to take sides. Our God takes a side against injustice, against oppression... Our God gets involved.” Dang!

Exodus 15 lets us imagine God as a warrior who squashes enemies like a bug. But John 18 asks us to imagine God differently: surrendering. Oh, what God would NOT do in order to have us home. Thanks be to God.

What kind of monarch has an advisory board of homeless, hungry, rejected convicts? I bet you know. And this monarch will eventually get everything he wants.

God knows we have suffered under bad shepherds; God promises to be a Good one. Here's what that might mean for us sheep. Ezekiel 34:1-31, and John 10:1-16.

In the last of our "Imagining God" series, we deal with the uncomfortable metaphor of God the cuckolded spouse. We've been cheating, and God's feelings are way, way hurt. Hosea 2 and Ephesians 5:21-33.
