TRANSCRIPT: “They had all but stripped away grace, mercy, and joy from their religion, and God was no longer someone to know. God was no longer someone to love, trust, and delight in. God was someone to avoid. God had become someone you just needed to keep off your back. Once again, I want to warn you, if you ever find yourself thinking or feeling that way about God, you have a theology problem; you don’t have a God problem. That is not the God of the Bible. That’s exactly what had happened in Jesus’ day. God had just become someone to avoid.“
