    Preached this sermon the morning of our voter's assembly in which we adopted weekly communion. It was perfect in that it allowed me to ask the question: "What is the way of love with regards to this question?" (~23:30min)

    In sum, the reason why people don't like God and are offended by Him is sin. It's not that hard, folks. Your Sunday School teacher probably had a fine handle on this one.

    Pastorally this sort of statement is a problem as well. If one were to follow this statement, she might become fearful that she is committing idolatry if she finds herself, well, loving God and His commands.

    There's a problem with this: It is in effect saying that God could not create a creature that loves everything about Him. Thus, this statement, in trying to elevate God, in fact makes him out to be quite weak.
