2. An embarrassed disloyalty toward God concerning his recorded “antics” and actions to justify subjective obedience.
  • We regard worshipping God essential because he is the “WOW” of our lives and worthy of our total devotion.
3. Trading prayer for politics and other activism or as the medium for creating one’s own reality.
