What Does It Cost to Have a God
Dr. J Carlyle Parker argues that belief carries varying price from pagan idols to persecution and martyrdom. He contrasts Moses seeking God on the mountain with crowds who demand a god on their terms and warns that modern gods of business, leaders, or nationalism cheapen faith. He urges thoughtful search, repentance for half gods, and turning to the one true God.
