God works through nature, not against it. God does not circumvent, overwhelm, or “saturate” the natural conditions of his revelation, but accommodates himself to our capacity.

A Good Reminder

November 18, 2007 — WhiskeyjackIt is not out of a craving for what he lacks, an insufficiency in his being, or a necessity imposed upon him, but out of an overflowing abundance of ecstatic love that we continue to exist, much less to drawn out of ourselves, made extroverts, reconciled to God and one another. A god who depends on the creation at any point for his being or will can never love in freedom: as the object of such a god’s desire exercises its freedom in opposition to his desire, the creature thus made an idol becomes the object of intense resentment and hatred.
