Let's not be afraid to admit it. We all do it. Without it, we simply have no practical means by which to approach God.
What am I referring to? We all put God in a box!
It is an overused metaphor, but Pastor Anne Robertson breathes new life into it by turning it upside down. Often, those who refer to our tendency to place God-in-a-box warn their listeners to refrain from this practice altogether. But this is naïve and misguided. We all do it. We all have to do it or God remains an empty term, void of meaning and unable to guide any sustainable practice. Anne encourages us to admit we have a God-box. But she then challenges us to make sure we never close the lid!
