Fluff God

I have been thinking alot about how we as people really like the Fluff God. If you know me well, you know and have read how I have an appreciation for fluffunutter – the incredibly delicious marshmellowy cream that goes oh so well with peanut butter and two fresh slices of white bread (I can taste it now). Yesterday, when I was at the grocery store I saw a jar of fluff on sale and it just got me thinking again about Fluff God. It is so easy to like Fluff God, He is so sweet and delightful – He is loving, kind, gracious, merciful and even at times thought to be manipulatable and coerceable. With a Fluff God focus, being all sweet and everything, there is never a mention of things like righteousness, holiness, sin, justice, wrath, condemnation, judgment or the such.
When your God is Fluff God you can:
- Ignore Him for days on end
- Read His Word whenever you feel like it and not whenever you don’t
- Pray in crisis and ignore Him in the good times
- See what is going on this weekend before you commit to His house
- Be an undercover disciple – careful, don’t speak of Jesus it might blow your cover
- Spend your money how you want and toss Him a couple crumbs from time to time and think He is oblivious while you do so
- Treat your spouse worse than anybody you know and think God is ok with that – after all He knows what a jerk they are
- Run your mouth about others and in doing so, beat up the bride of Christ
- Let tv, culture, friends and whatever else raise your kids, while you promote spiritual illiteracy
- Ignore your beam and focus on your neighbors splinter

Goes right with my message I preached Sunday “He’s God and I’m Not.” May borrow your thoughts but I’ll make sure you get the credit
